Abstract
The fluorescence intensity of a tetraester derivative of the title compound increases markedly upon the Na+-binding. Hence, this is useful as a new, convenient Na+-sensing system. The mechanism of the fluorescence increase is discussed by comparing the fluorescence properties of several reference compounds.Keywords
