A long-wavelength and color-changed cellulose-based fluorescent sensor for Al3+ and its applications in detection and fluorescence imaging.
A cellulose ester-based fluorescent derivative (EC-HNCA) was successfully synthesized via the reaction between 3-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxy-4-sulfo-1-naphthylazo)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid and ethyl cellulose. The structural variations before and after the synthesis were systematically characterized by proton nuclear magn...
