Luminescent micellar nano-interfaces of surface active ionic liquid for the selective recognition of ADP in aqueous medium.

Luminescent benzimidazolium based surface active ionic liquid (SAIL) is found to form micelles in aqueous medium, which act as nano-interfaces for the selective recognition of ADP in the nanomolar range. A significant enhancement in fluorescence emission demonstrating the conversion and amplification of molecular information using micellar nano-interfaces is observed for the first time.
