Abstract

Two terbium complexes with varying degrees of intramolecular coordination, Tb:DO2A-Cs124 and Tb:DOTA-Cs124, were prepared. Their capacity to detect biologically and environmentally relevant anions through their luminescence changes was investigated. Tb:DOTA-Cs124 demonstrated exceptional selectivity as a sensor for nitrite, while Tb:DO2A-Cs124 detects nitrite, phosphates, and a range of carboxylate-containing anions.

Comments

A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Honors Liberal Arts
