Synthesis of a Single Benzene-Based Fluorophore for Selective Recognition of Al Ions

Though 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHT) is composed of a single benzene molecule, it is blue-emissive in common organic solvents and in the solid state. Like most organic fluorophores, DHT is not soluble in water, which limits its versatile use in metal ion detection in an aqueous medium. To imp...
