A furano– ortho –vanillin conjugate for fluorogenic ratiometric and selective Zn 2+ sensing: theoretical insights and biological studies
Key Points
To design and synthesize a fluorescent sensor capable of selectively detecting Zn 2+ ions in semi-aqueous conditions.
Designed a fluorescent sensor BFC to enhance selectivity for Zn 2+ detection.
Synthesis involved creating a furano–ortho-vanillin conjugate structure.
Conducted validation of fluorescence recognition in appropriate environments.
BFC successfully identifies Zn 2+ in semi-aqueous environments with high selectivity.
Fluorescence intensity corresponded positively to Zn 2+ concentration, confirming its functionality.
Abstract
A fluorescent sensor BFC was designed and synthesized in order to identify the selective fluorescence recognition of Zn 2+ in semi-aqueous environments.
