title: Conformationally Distorted π-Conjugation for Reaction-Based Detection of Nickel: Fluorescence Turn-on by Twist-and-Fragment.
abstract: A conformationally twisted N-arylbenzotriazole was designed as a fluorescence turn-on molecular probe. Under ambient conditions, metal-catalyzed deallylation reactions restore an intense blue emission. This reaction scheme is applicable exclusively to Group 10 transition metal ions and optimized, in particular, for nickel to allow sub-micromolar detection with no competition from other first-row transition-metal ions.
