Abstract

A 1,8-naphthalimide-based colorimetric fluorescence perinone dye, receptor 1 is reported herein for the selective detection of Cu2+ over the other heavy and transition metal ions. Receptor 1 shows a strong colorimetric change from orange to purple and a dramatic enhancement of fluorescence intensity due to cation-induced excited state internal charge transfer during the sensing event, that is, a dual optical response that would facilitate naked-eye detection of Cu2+.
