title: Poly(amine ester) dendrimer with naphthyl units as a fluorescent chemosensor for Al(III), Cu(II), and Zn(II).
abstract: A poly(amine ester) dendrimer with naphthyl units (G1N6) has been synthesized as a fluorescent chemosensor for metal ions. We investigated the metal-ion recognition of G1N6 by adding each of Ag(+), Al(3+), Ba(2+), Ca(2+), Cd(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(3+), Mg(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+) in acetonitrile solution. Large changes were observed in the fluorescence spectra of G1N6 upon the addition of Al(3+), Cu(2+), and Zn(2+).
