چکیده

The design, synthesis and physical evaluation of 1, a visible colorimetric 'naked eye' pyridyl based bis-amidothiourea sensor for anions, is described. This charge neutral sensor gives rise to significant changes in the absorption spectra upon interactions with several important biological anions such as AMP and ADP in 4:1 DMSO-H(2)O solution, while ATP was not detected. These colorimetric changes are due to the formation, or the combination of hydrogen bonding complexes and/or deprotonation between these anions and 1.

Naphthalene-based Azo-azomethine Chemosensor: Naked Eye Detection of Fluoride in Semi-aqueous Media

A new azo-azomethine chemosensor containing active phenolic sites, H2L, has been designed and synthesized for rapid detection of inorganic fluoride over the other anions, such as Clˉ, Brˉ, Iˉ, AcOˉ, H2PO4ˉ, NO3ˉ, N3ˉ in DMSO/water (90/10) media. The 1H NMR titration revealed that the colorimetric response was considered to be the direct consequence of hydrogen-bond formation between phenolic gr...

A New Colorimetric Azo-azomethine Probe for Fluoride Ion Detection Based on the Proton Transfer Signaling Mode: Real-life Applications

Four novel receptors were designed and synthesized for colorimetric detection of F− ions. The introduction of four electron withdrawing groups into the backbone of the receptors makes the two phenolic groups efficient hydrogen bonding sites. The binding properties of receptors with anions were examined for the first time by UV–Vis, 1H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The addition of F− resu...

Solvent effect on neutral chiral supramolecular assemblies and their distinct receptor behaviour towards anions.

We describe the distinct receptor behaviour of a neutral chiral Cu(ii) complex in dimethylsulfoxide or methanol towards anions, such as F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-) or OAc(-), where F(-) and OAc(-) show the most colorimetric change, through various spectroscopic techniques. Further insights into this at the molecular level come from the single crystal X-ray structures of both dimethylsulfoxide and ...
