title: Novel ratiometric fluorescent sensor for silver ions.
abstract: Incorporating azacrown[N,S,O] into furoquinoline fluorophore yields a novel ratiometric fluorescent sensor FQ-crown for silver ions. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission investigations indicate that FQ-crown bears the features of a large Stokes shift, about 173 nm, and red-shift up to 50 nm in the emission spectra and high affinity for silver ions (log K = 7.21) in ethanol in comparison with other competitive d(10) metal ions.
