title: A pyridinyl-functionalized tetraphenylethylene fluorogen for specific sensing of trivalent cations.
abstract: A pyridinyl-functionalized tetraphenylethene (Py-TPE) was synthesized and it demonstrated colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent responses to trivalent metal cations (M(3+), M = Cr, Fe, Al) over a variety of mono- and divalent metal cations.
