A novel fluorescent "off-on" probe based on carbon nitride (C₃N₄) nanoribbons was developed for citrate anion (C₆H₅O₇<sup>3-</sup>) detection. The fluorescence of C₃N₄ nanoribbons can be quenched by Cu<sup>2+</sup> and then recovered by the addition of C₆H₅O₇<sup>3-</sup>, because the chelation between C₆H₅O₇<sup>3-</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> blocks the electron transfer between Cu<sup>2+</sup> and C₃N₄ nanoribbons. The turn-on fluorescent sensor using this fluorescent "off-on" probe can detect C ...[more]
