Highly sensitive and selective fluorescent chemosensor for Ag+ based on a coumarin-Se2N chelating conjugate

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Feb 28;47(8):2408-10. doi: 10.1039/c0cc04589f. Epub 2010 Dec 17.

Abstract

A highly sensitive and selective fluorescent chemosensor SC1 for Ag(+) based on a coumarin-Se(2)N chelating conjugate has been synthesized and characterized. Due to inhibiting a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) quenching pathway, a fluorescent enhancement factor of 4-fold is observed under the binding of the Ag(+) cation to the chemosensor SC1 with a detection limit down to the 10(-8) M range.
