Incorporating a Piperidinyl Group in the Fluorophore Extends the Fluorescence Lifetime of Click-Derived Cyclam-Naphthalimide Conjugates

Ligands incorporating a tetraazamacrocycle receptor, a ‘click’- derived triazole and a 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore have proven utility as probes for metal ions. Three new cyclam-based molecular probes are reported, in which a piperidinyl group has been introduced at the 4-position of the naphthali...
