Dendrimer-hydrazides are coupled to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for use in the visual detection of the presence of low levels of fluoride in a sample. The dendrimers can have a phenyl core, a first generation of aralkyl ethers, and an optional second generation of aralkyl ethers. The compounds form gels with solvents. In the presence of fluoride ion, the gels undergo color changes and/or gel to liquid phase change.
