A rhodamine-based sensor（1） has been developed for the detection of chromium ions.Cr-（3＋）-induced opening of the rhodamine spirocycle in sensor（1） led to the distinct colorimetric and fluorescence responses.Among all the tested ions,only Cr-（3＋） generated a significant fluorescence enhancement of up...
