Selective Chromogenic Recognition of Copper(II) Ion by Thiacalix[4]arene Tetrasulfonate and Mechanism

Detection of biologically important transition metal ions such as copper by using a simple method is desirable and of great importance. In this work, we firstly reported that water-soluble thiacalix[4]arene tetrasulfonate (TCAS) exhibited selective chromogenic recognition towards copper(II) ion over...
