Fluores­cence quenching experiments revealed that the fluorescence intensities of the resulted probe were linear with the concentrations of TNP and Ag<sup>+</sup> in the concentration range of 3.0–5.0 and 2.0–5.0 µmol dm<sup>-3</sup>, with the detection limit of 1.36 and 0.82 µmol dm<sup>-3</sup>, respectively. At the same time, accompanied with fluorescent color change under 365 nm UV light irradiation. This has demon­strated that the compound can act as a potential candidate for a "naked-eye" rapidly detector for Ag+ and TNP in soils and aquatic systems.</p>}, number={9}, journal={Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society}, author={Wang, Bin and Zuo, Xixi and Ma, Jing and Ma, Xiangmei}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={859–870} }
