title: A dual analyte fluorescent chemosensor based on a furan-pyrene conjugate for Al3+& HSO3.
abstract: A simple chalcone based dual analyte fluorescent probe FPC for Al3+and HSO3-ions was developed. FPC detects both the analytes through a "turn off-on" approach and by the PET and ICT mechanism. FPC showed high selectivity and sensitivity for Al3+and HSO3-ions detection over other interfering and competing metal ions. In addition, the LOD of FPC for sensing Al3+and HSO3-ions was found to be 1.60×10-7M and 0.17×10-6M respectively. An electrochemical desalination technique was employed for the complete removal of Al3+ions from the environmental water samples by using the probe FPC.
