An ATP fluorescent chemosensor based on a Zn(<scp>ii</scp>)-complexed dipicolylaminereceptor coupled with a naphthalimidechromophore

Abstract

A fluorescent naphthalimide chemosensor for ATP bearing a dipicolylamine group complexed with a Zn(II) metal as a receptor moiety was synthesized and its sensing properties regarding ATP and other related phosphate species were evaluated.
