Abstrakt: The performance of many known fluorescent sensors for Ca2+ is pH‐dependent. We set out to address this by preparing a novel calcium sensor based on diacylated 1,10‐diaza‐18‐crown‐6 and containing no basic centres. The sensor is sensitive to sub‐millimolar levels of Ca2+ and partially tolerant of an aqueous environment. However, it suffers from a lack of selectivity over some other divalent cations, and retained pH sensitivity in the acidic range. The relations between these properties and the sensor's structure are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
