Fluorescent and visual sensing of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate with an aminosilane self-condensation promoting and electrostatic attraction effect-based ratiometric probe.

Herein, the specific interaction between SDBS and APTMS was reported and the reaction mechanisms were explored for the first time. The proposed probe based on the effect described above provided a promising potential for SDBS analysis owing to high sensitivity, selectivity, anti-interference ability, and stability (in 20 days).
