Schematic presentation of the in situ synthesis of fluorescent copper nanoclusters for rapid determination of ascorbic acid is provided. After addition of ascorbic acid, copper(ii) is reduced to copper(0) and then clustered on dsDNA, thus producing red-emission CuNCs.
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.
