A new phenanthrene based chemosensor has been synthesized and investigated to act as highly selective fluorescence and visual sensor for Cu2 + ion with very low detection limit of 1.58 nM; this has also been used to image Cu2 + in human cervical HeLa cancer cells.
Graphical abstractA new phenanthrene based chemosensor has been synthesized and shown to act as highly selective fluorescence sensor for Cu2+ ion, and its application in live cell imaging has been explored.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights► Phenanthrene based fluorogenic chemosensor R has been synthesized. ► R displays selective sensitivity towards Cu2 + ions with low detection limit of 1.58 nM. ► R has also been used to image Cu2 + in human cervical HeLa cancer cells.
