“…For this reason, considerable attention has been focused on the design of fluorescent chemosensors for Cu 2+ ion due to the highly sensitive, quick, and nondestructive advantages of the fluorescence method in the past decade [21][22][23][24]. In terms of sensitivity concerns, chemosensors exhibiting fluorescence enhancement (fluorescence "turn-on") upon Cu 2+ ion complexation are favored over those showing fluorescence quenching (fluorescence "turn-off") under Cu 2+ binding.…”
