A fluorescence turn-on sensor for the detection of palladium ions that operates through in situ generation of palladium nanoparticles†
Abstract
A simple and straightforward fluorescence method for the detection of palladium ions at low concentrations has been developed. The mode of operation of the sensor involves in situ generation of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs), which promote a selective deiodination reaction of iodo-BODIPY that forms highly fluorescent H-BODIPY.
