A novel solvent-dependent chemosensor based on a diarylethene derivative for fluorescent “turn-on” recognition of Hg2+ and colorimetric detection of Cu2+ was synthesized, its multi-controllable photoswitchable behaviors with light and chemical stimuli were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
