title: Naphthalene carbohydrazone based dizinc(II) chemosensor for a pyrophosphate ion and its DNA assessment application in polymerase chain reaction products.
abstract: A new naphthalene carbohydrazone based dizinc(II) complex has been synthesized and investigated to act as a highly selective fluorescence and visual sensor for a pyrophosphate ion with a quite low detection limit of 155 ppb; this has also been used to detect the pyrophosphate ion released from polymerase-chain-reaction.
