title: Highly selective fluorescent recognition of histidine by a crown ether-terpyridine-Zn(II) sensor.
abstract: A Zn(II) complex was found to exhibit greatly enhanced fluorescence in the presence of histidine but not in the presence of any other amino acids including cysteine. This sensor could also distinguish histidine from other imidazole derivatives.
