Fluorescent zinc and copper complexes for detection of adrafinil in paper-based microfluidic devices.
Recognition of electroneutral Lewis bases and anions in aqueous media is extremely difficult. We show that fluorescent coordinatively unsaturated metal complexes can recognize various Lewis bases while providing an easy-to-detect fluorescence response. This approach is applied to the detection of adrafinil, a banned performance-enhancing drug.
