Aggregation-induced emission active tetraphenylethene-based sensor for uranyl ion detection
Abstract
A novel AIE fluorescent sensor for the detection of uranyl has been developed. TPE-T is capable of visually distinguish UO22+ among many metals owing to the AIE phenomenon. TPE-T showed a wide effective pH range, high selectivity and good anti-interference qualities. TPE-T showed good accuracy in the determination of uranyl in river water.
