J. Kawakami et al., Complexing behavior of new naphthalene derivatives having amide groups as fluorescent chemosensors for alkali and alkaline earth metal ions, CHEM LETT, (9), 1999, pp. 955-956
New naphthalene derivatives (1NSN, 1NLN, 1NE and 1NcrownN) as fluorescent c
hemosensors for metal ions using excimer emission were synthesized. We inve
stigated the metal ion recognition of 1NSN, 1NLN, 1NE and 1NcrownN. Large c
hanges in the fluorescence spectra of not only 1NSN and 1NLN but also 1NE w
ere observed with the addition of magnesium ion. However, changes in the fl
uorescence spectra of 1NcrownN were not observed with the addition of alkal
i and alkaline earth metal ions.
