Cover Picture: A Novel Dual Channel Fluorescent Probe for Ca2+ and Zn2+ Based on a Coumarin Schiff Base (Chin. J. Chem. 8/2017)
Abstract:
The cover picture shows a novel dual channel fluorescent probe for Ca2+ and Zn2+ based on a coumarin Schiff base. The probe displays a solvent dependent dual sensing, viz., recognition of Ca2+ in DMF‐H2O (9∶1, V /V ) solution based on C = N isomerization, photoinduced electron transfer (PET ) inhibition and chelation‐enhanced fluorescence (CHEF ) mechanism as well as detection of Zn2+ in H2O‐CH3OH (9∶1, V /V ) solution by excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT ) and CHEF processes. More details are discussed in the article by Guo et al. on page 1263–1269.
