“…To get insight into the proposed binding mode, the binding mode of the sensors and Al 3+ carried out density functional theory (DFT) calculations with B3LYP/6-31G(d) method [33][34][35] According to the above discussion and the relevant literature reports [36][37][38][39][40], we proposed a rational coordinated mode that Al 3+ is hexa-coordinated with one tridentate ligand, one bidentate nitrate and one monodentate ethanol. As depicted in Fig.…”

“…S5), and the detection limit of this sensor 1 for Al 3+ was estimated as 10 À7 mol/L level conducted by using fluorescence spectra (Fig. S6), which was lower than some reported Al 3+ selective and sensitive fluorescent sensors [37][38][39][40]. It demonstrated that the detection limit was low enough for this sensor to detect and control Al 3+ in the environmental and biological systems.…”

“…S7). Upon addition of 0.05 to 0.25 ȝM Al 3+ to the sensor MCIH, fluorescence emission enhancement demonstrated that this sensor could detect Al 3+ at 5×10 -8 M level, which is low for the detection of Al 3+ ions found in many chemical systems [35][36]. Fluorescence quantum yield measurements were carried out for the sensor to understand its fluorescence behavior observed.…”
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.
