AI Article Synopsis

  • A new fluoroionophore based on a calix[4]arene was developed using photoinduced electron transfer (PET) technology to detect Cd(2+) and Sr(2+) ions.
  • The detection limits for this sensor were found to be extremely low at 0.94 pM for Cd(2+) and 1.04 pM for Sr(2+).
  • This sensor has also been effectively used to identify these ions in wastewater samples.

Article Abstract

A novel PET (photoinduced electron transfer) based substituted calix[4]arene fluoroionophore has been synthesized and used for the selective recognition of Cd(2+) and Sr(2+) by emission spectra. The detection limit of the synthesized receptor was found to be 0.94 pM for Cd(2+) and 1.04 pM for Sr(2+). Moreover, this probe has been applied to the recognition of Cd(2+) and Sr(2+) in waste water.
