Selective fluorescence sensing of Li+ in an aqueous environment by a ferrocene-anthracene-linked dyad.
A new 1-(9-anthryl)-4-ferrocenyl-2-aza-1,3-butadiene showing selective fluorescence enhancement upon binding to lithium cations over other alkaline cations in aqueous environment has been conveniently synthesized and characterized. [structure: see text]
