ABSTRACT

A novel rhodamine-based probe (RP1) was synthesized and characterized as a colorimetric chemosensor with high selectivity and sensitivity in biological systems toward Cu2+ over other cations tested. RP1 showed low detection limit for copper. The binding between RP1 and Cu2+ was confirmed to be stoichiometric. The recognition process was reversible. We also performed the density functional theory (DFT) calculation to have more understanding of structure, molecular and electronic.
