1,8-Naphthalimide-based visible colorimetric sensor for the selective sensing of fluoride, acetate and hydroxyl anions
摘要:
A highly selective and sensitive calorimetric signal-responding anion-sensor 1, based on 1,8-naphthalimide, was prepared and spectroscopically characterized. Strong visible colorimetric changes in 1 were observed only in the presence of fluoride (yellow-to-red color change), acetate (yellow-to-orange color change) and hydroxyl (yellow-to-brown color change) anions in DMSO. In the UV-Vis spectroscopy titration of F-, two different processes were observed as the concentration of F- increased. In the lower concentration of F-, hydrogen-bond interactions were formed in the first process. The second process of the spectral changes, in the higher concentration of F-, was attributed to the deprotonation of the hydroxyl moiety in the binding group, which was associated with the enhancement in the push-pull effect of the internal charge-transfer transition. The commonly competing Cl-, Br-, I-, ClO4, PF6, HSO4 and H2PO4 ions induced none or relatively negligible optical perturbations in the UV-Vis spectral analyses. The present naked-eye detection system provides a simple and rapid method for the detection of fluoride, acetate and hydroxyl anions without interferences from other halide anions or common anions, including ClO4, PF6, HSO4 and H2PO4.
