A highly lipophilic terpyridine ligand as an efficient fluorescent probe for the selective detection of zinc(II) ions under biological conditions

The present work describes the synthesis of new terpyridine (tpy) molecules possessing functionalized long alkyl chains at the 4'-position associated with a planar structure with considerable delocalization. Out of the three synthesized tpy derivatives (L1, L2, and L3), L2 containing an ester g...
