Here, three different fluorescence probes for the fluorometric determination of metal ions are presented which emit in the long wavelength spectral region. The spectroscopic behavior of the uncomplexed molecules and their complexes with various metal ions is studied in acetonitrile and compared. The influence of the receptor on both the optical as well as the complexation properties of these modular systems is discussed with respect to the development of design principles for fluorescence probes for heavy and transition metal ions.
