Cation sensing by a novel triazine-cored intermediate as a fluorescent chemosensor incorporating benzothiazole fluorophore

Sequential nucleophilic aromatic substitutions on cyanuric chloride: synthesis of BODIPY derivatives and mechanistic insights

“…14,15 The use of fluorescent molecular sensors in the field of cation detection stands out as the main application of this class of compounds found in recent literature, a fact that is mainly due to the great importance of identifying and quantifying certain metals in different media, with special attention to the precautions to be taken in contaminated environments. 16,17 Molecules bearing aminoalkylpyridine moieties have shown to be efficient in selective cation detection due to their chelating properties. 18 Combining the appealing photophysical properties of BODIPY with the enhanced water solubility of phosphoramidates and the cation affinity of aminoalkylpyridines could pose a challenging task.…”
