A wavelength and lifetime responsive cryptate-containing fluorescent probe for zinc ions in water.
A diamino-functionalised cryptate can react irreversibly with butanal in water, in the presence of an excess of a metal ion, to form a cyclised bis-aminal complex, which displays metal-dependent luminescence properties.
