A Europium-Ion-Based Luminescent Sensing Probe for Hydrogen Peroxide

Zusammenfassung

A bright idea: A 15-fold increase in fluorescence intensity occurs when the complex formed between Eu3+ and the antibiotic tetracycline binds to hydrogen peroxide at neutral pH. The complex can be used in the determination of the concentration of H2O2, the activity of oxidases, the concentration of glucose, and also in an optical sensor for H2O2.
