Copper(II) and iron(II) ion sensing with semiconducting polymer dots.
This communication describes a simple platform that employs carboxyl functionalized semiconducting polymer dots as a fluorescent probe for sensitive ratiometric Cu(2+) and Fe(2+) detection, in which the sensing mechanism is based on aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching.
