title: Quantitative determination of fluoride in pure water using luminescent europium complexes.
abstract: Two luminescent probes [Eu.L¹⁻²]⁺ are reported for the rapid detection of fluoride in water. Probes [Eu.L¹⁻²]⁺ exhibit exceptional enhancements in Eu emission in the presence of fluoride, permitting its selective determination within the environmentally relevant concentration range (20-210 μM).
