This compound was examined for its fluorescent properties towards different metal ions (Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn-2+, Pb2+) by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. On complexation by alkaline earth metal cations and transition metal cations, the fluorescence spectrum was quenched. In particular, Ca2 + caused greater than 98% quenching of the anthracene derivative of calix[4] arene.en10.3906/kim-1302-77info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCalix[4]areneanthracenefluorescent chemosensorSchiff baseArticle375832839Q3WOS:000324535700013Q3
