Sensing important metals in different environments is an important area and involves the development of a wide variety of metal-sensing materials. The employment of fluorescent sensors in metal sensing has been one of the most widely applied methodologies, and the identification of selective metal sensors is important. We herein report a phenothiazine-based Cu(II) fluorescent sensor that is highly selective to Cu(II) ions compared with other transition metal salts. The Lewis acidity of the Cu(II) salt certainly was found to be a factor for obtaining an enhanced sensing response in MeOH as the solvent, while a ratio of 1:1 was calculated to be the most optimum for getting the desired response.
