In this work, we demonstrate the reversible, light-modulated sensing that is a step in the direction of achieving sensing with reduced need for calibration.
We also describe our effort to strengthen the binding of metal ion by introducing secondary binding centre within the molecule of SP while employing molecular modelling as a powerful tool for predicting the effect of introducing newgroups within amolecule.
Finally,we address the photodegradation and demonstrate that it is possible to significantly reduce
the degree of photodegradation of SP through covalent attachment to a polymer surface.
