A series of ethynylarene compounds containing 2-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine chelating units were studied as fluorescent chemosensors for metal cations in aqueous solution. Analogs possessing two chelating units bridged by either 1,4-diethynylphenyl or 2,7-diethynylnaphthyl subunits displayed large hypsochromic shifts coupled with signal intensification when exposed to increasing concentrations of Ni(II), a unique response among 22 metal cation analytes. This response was shown to be reversible, ...[more]
