Fluorescence and colorimetric detection of ATP based on a strategy of self-promoting aggregation of a water-soluble polythiophene derivative

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 May 18;51(40):8544-6. doi: 10.1039/c5cc01713k.

Abstract

A sensitive fluorescent and colorimetric dual-modal probe for the detection of ATP has been developed based on a strategy of self-promoting aggregation of a cationic polythiophene derivative bearing anthracene groups in the side chain with a detection limit as low as 10(-9) M.
