Cucurbit[6]uril-based carbon dots for recognizing <scp>l</scp>-tryptophan and capecitabine

Abstract

Fluorescent nitrogen and fluorine doped carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by a hydrothermal method using levofloxacin (LVFX) and cucurbit[6]uril (Q[6]) as the nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively.
