Abstract
Simple modification of amino-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on glass with a fluorophore and a metal coordinating functionality allows the surface of the monolayer to be used as a recognition pattern for metal ion sensing (see Figure). This design has an internal read-out system, which i s particularly desirable since no additional labels are required for the tr ansduction mechanism.
