Abstract:

A new azo-azomethine chemosensor containing active phenolic sites, H2L, has been designed and synthesized for rapid detection of inorganic fluoride over the other anions, such as Clˉ, Brˉ, Iˉ, AcOˉ, H2PO4ˉ, NO3ˉ, N3ˉ in DMSO/water (90/10) media. The 1H NMR titration revealed that the colorimetric response was considered to be the direct consequence of hydrogen-bond formation between phenolic groups of the receptor and fluoride ion followed by deprotonation. The anions recognition ability of H2L was also evaluated using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Importantly, H2L can detect inorganic fluoride even at 2.04×10-6 M level, which is lower than the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible level. Interestingly, H2L was used for qualitative detection of fluoride anion in commercially available mouthwash and toothpaste.

A New Colorimetric Azo-azomethine Probe for Fluoride Ion Detection Based on the Proton Transfer Signaling Mode: Real-life Applications

Four novel receptors were designed and synthesized for colorimetric detection of F− ions. The introduction of four electron withdrawing groups into the backbone of the receptors makes the two phenolic groups efficient hydrogen bonding sites. The binding properties of receptors with anions were examined for the first time by UV–Vis, 1H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The addition of F− resu...

A colorimetric "naked-eye" Cu(II) chemosensor and pH indicator in 100% aqueous solution.

A new, highly selective and sensitive colorimetric chemosensor 1 for detection of Cu(2+) ions in aqueous solution was developed. Receptor 1 detected Cu(2+) ions by changing its color from colorless to yellow. Moreover, the Cu(2+)-sensitive compound was used as a colorimetric pH detector based on a color change due to 1-Cu(2+) complex formation identifiable by the naked eye.

Naked-eye and Selective Detection of Mercury (II) Ions in Mixed Aqueous Media Using a Cellulose-based Support

A test paper for high-selectivity detecting Hg2+ ions in mixed acetonitrile-watersolutions has been achieved using a bis(ferrocenyl) azine, as chromogenic chemosensormolecule, and a solid cellulose fibre, as a substrate. Depending on the amount of mercuryions in contact with the detecting molecule a spectacular color change in the celluloseindicator is produced, being possible to determine the ...
