Imaging of Al³⁺in plant roots by the interaction with a bisphenol A-based chemosensor

Abstract

Al3+ ion has been considered to be the most toxic form of aluminum for plant roots. To identify this metal ion in roots, a molecule, 4,4'-(propane-2,2-diyl)bis(2-((E)-(2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl)phenol) (H4L), has been synthesized...
