A fluorescent molecular probe for the identification of zinc and cadmium salts by excited state charge transfer modulation.
A fluorescent probe for the identification of a given metal salt is not known. Herein we present a new fluorescent probe 1 for the identification of different zinc and cadmium salts by exploiting the effect of the charge density of counteranions to perturb the excited state solvatochromic behavior of the probe.
