Highly Sensitive and Selective Fluorescent Probes for Cu(II) Detection Based on Calix[4]arene-Oxacyclophane Architectures

A new topological design of fluorescent probes for sensing copper ion is disclosed. The calix[<sup>4</sup>]arene-oxacyclophane (Calix-OCP) receptor, either wired-in-series in arylene-<i>alt</i>-ethynylene conjugated polymers or standing alone as a sole molecular probe, displa...
