Abstract

A novel fluorescent sensor 2-MZ has been developed. It could simultaneously and selectively detect Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ in aqueous media. The distinct absorption and fluorescence color changes could be observed by the naked eye. Live cells imaging also demonstrated its potential application in biological systems.
