In this study, the bathocuproine (BCP) compound was used as a fluorescent chemosensor. The selectivity and sensitivity of BCP have been investigated against some metal ions of biological and environmental importance. The results obtained from the ultraviolet-visible region (UV-vis.) and the fluorescence spectroscopy experiments revealed that the BCP sensor showed selectivity and sensitivity only to Manganese (II) ions in the experimental conditions studied.
