Colorimetric detection of copper ions based on a supramolecular complex of water-soluble polythiophene and ATP

Abstract

A colorimetric probe for the detection of copper(II) ions in aqueous media by the naked eye has been developed based on a supramolecular complex comprised of a cationic polythiophene derivative and ATP with a detection limit as low as 0.05 mM.
