title: A thiazolothiazole based Cu2+ selective colorimetric and fluorescent sensor via unique radical formation.
abstract: A novel thiazolothiazole-based Cu(2+) colorimetric and fluorescent sensor is reported. A highly selective colorimetric change from yellow to dark green was observed among various metal ions after adding Cu(2+). Unique radical formation can engender these highly selective colorimetric and fluorescent changes.
