The 1,2,3-triazol-1,4-diyl-fluoroionophore 1 was designed in a donor(D)-acceptor(A) arrangement with a 1,2,3-triazol unit as a π-linker between a terpyridine (A) ionophore and a diethylaminocoumarin (D) fluorophore to study the fluorescence behavior towards the divalent 3d metal ions Mn<sup>2+</sup>, Fe<sup>2+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup>, Ni<sup>2+</sup>, Cu<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup>.

A preliminary chemical-physical characterization of carnauba wax was carried out using spectroscopic (ATR-FTIR, NMR) and thermal analyses (DSC). Based on the chemical composition found for the carnauba wax used in the present study, different solvent mixtures and different concentrations of carnauba wax were tested to obtain a clear and stable solution. The most promising formulations were subjected to a coating test on a solid substrate (polyethylene terephthalate, PET) on a laboratory scale, followed by a peeling test to assess the resulting peeling strength. The dl-limonene/ethyl acetate mixture in the 9 : 1 ratio has been identified as the most suitable to completely solubilize carnauba wax (0.38 wt/vol %) and obtain an adequate release performance.
