SOLUBLE METAL SENSOR COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THE SAME

摘要

Described herein are the preparation and use of metal sensor compounds in detecting metals that are toxic to humans or to the environment. In one aspect, the metal sensor compounds comprise a polycyclic aryl group (PAC), wherein at least one solubilizing group and at least one metal binding ligand are covalently bonded to (PAC).
