Novel chromogenic sensors with thiourea moiety as receptor unit were synthesized and characterized using IR and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The receptors 1 and 2 bearing hydrogen bonding site demonstrate visually striking color change, UV-vis, and fluorescence responses for F-, AcO-, and OH- over other anions such as Cl-, Br-, H2PO4- and HSO4-. Both the receptors 1 and 2 demonstrate detection limit at micro molar level. Further insight to the nature of interaction between receptors and anions was studied using H-1 NMR titration experiment. In particular, the fluoride of tooth paste and mouthwash in water phase can be detected by receptor 2. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
