A receptor R1 was designed and synthesised for colorimetric detection of F− ions as well as Cu2+ ions via intramolecular charge transfer mechanism. Upon addition of F− ions in dry DMSO, the color of the receptor R1 changed from pale yellow to blue. The receptor showed a unique property of solvatochromism by displaying different coloration with different solvents only in the presence of F− ions, which were applied to determine the percentage composition of binary solvent mixtures. The receptor R1 was able to detect Cu2+ ions colorimetrically where it exhibited a color change from pale yellow to orange-red. In addition, the receptor was subjected to molecular logic gate applications, wherein it showed ‘ON–OFF’ switching operations.
设计并合成了受体 R1,用于通过分子内电荷转移机制对 F− 离子和 Cu2+ 离子进行比色检测。在干燥
DMSO 中添加 F− 离子后,受体 R1 的颜色从浅黄色变为蓝色。该受体显示出溶剂化显色的独特性质,仅在 F− 离子存在的情况下,不同溶剂显示出不同的颜色,这可用于确定二元溶剂混合物的百分比组成。受体 R1 能够通过比色法检测 Cu2+ 离子,其颜色从浅黄色变为橙红色。此外,该受体还接受了分子逻辑门应用,显示出“ON-OFF”开关操作。
