The synergy of CHEF and ICT toward fluorescence ‘turn-on’ probes based on push-pull benzothiazoles for selective detection of Cu2+ in acetonitrile/water mixture
New push-pull schiff base ligands based on benzothiazole (BZ) unit were developed for the selective detection of Cu2+ through fluorescence ‘turn-on’ mechanism. These derivatives with electron withdrawing trifluoromethyl (-CF3) and cy
