Abstract
English
Herein, different synthetic approaches to colorimetric luminescence sensors are presented. 9-Anthraceneamines turned out to be promising colorimetric pH sensors. Their large shift of the emission wavelength upon addition of acids accompanied by enhanced intensity provide easy detectable and reversible changes. Further experiments demonstrate the capability of these systems to detect also metal cations.
