Supramolecular Platform Assisted Selective Recognition of Uric Acid with High Sensitivity via Microenvironment Modulation of a Self Assembled Probe
Abstract
The report demonstrates a unique route for translating a non-responsive fluorophore into a responsive one to optically recognize uric acid (UA) in physiological mimicking conditions. The explicit ‘turnON–turnOFF’ fluorescence switching upon sequential disaggregation–reaggregation of the self-aggregated 3,3’-bisindolyl(phenyl)methane molecules materializes a straight way, trouble-free supramolecular UA sensing platform.
