A novel route to copper(ii) detection using 'click' chemistry-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles
A simple colorimetric method for the detection of copper ions in water is described. This method is based on the 'click' copper(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction and its use in promoting the aggregation of azide-tagged gold nanoparticles by a dialkyne cross-linker is describ...
