A novel barbiturate-based fluorescent probe for selective detection of Cu2+ in aqueous media and live-cell imaging.
Copper ions (Cu2+) play vital roles in numerous physiological processes; however, their dysregulation can lead to severe health disorders, highlighting the need for reliable and sensitive detection strategies. Herein, we report the rational design and synthesis of a novel barbiturate-naphthyl-picolinate conjugate (BN-P...
