The coordination modes and binding constants of the complexes formed with a range of metal ions were calculated. Results indicate that both BODIPY molecules can potentially serve as fluorescent sensors for the studied metal cations. The results also show that the BODIPY-based sensors have more selectivity for Zn (II) ions in the presence of other metal ions.en10.1080/10610278.2013.799282info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBODIPYfluorescencesensorclick chemistryquenchcomplexArticle258512521Q3WOS:000322946800006Q2
