Amide–imine conjugate involving gallic acid and naphthalene for nano-molar detection, enrichment and cancer cell imaging of La3+: studies on the catalytic activity of the La3+ complex
A single crystal X-ray structurally characterized amide–imine conjugate (GAN) derived from gallic acid and naphthalene selectively recognizes La3+ ion via TURN ON fluorescence through ESIPT and CHEF mechanisms.
