摘要:
A novel ditopic chromogenic receptor. N-5-(8-hydroxy)quinoline-N'-4'-nitro-phenyl thiourea (1). was synthesized. The metal complex 1-Hg2+ showed sensitive and highly selective responses to F- over other anions such as CH3CO2-, H2PO4-, HSO4- and Cl-, 1-Hg2+-F- complex formed, which promoted the intramolecular charge transfer and led to a dramatic spectral change. The color of 1-Hg2+ solution changed from colorless to red upon addition of F-. Thus, a colorimetric assay of F- was developed in acetonitrile by naked-eye detection. F- behaved linearly in the 8.0 x 10(-6) to 2.0 x 10(-5) mot L-1 concentration range with LOD as 1.4 x 10(-6) mol L-1. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
