Abstract

We developed a new chromogenic and fluorescent "off-on" 1, 8-naphthalimide-derivated chemosensor 1 based on an F--triggered desilylation reaction. It showed significant variations in UV/visible absorption (510nm) and fluorescence emission wavelength (580nm) for selective detection of fluorides in THF/H2O system (v/v, 50:50). Moreover, chemodosimeter 1-loaded test strips were successfully fabricated todetect fluorides efficiently.

Highlights

  • Fluoride ions widely exist in the nature and organisms, and play an extremely important role in the metabolic process of organisms

  • We developed a new chromogenic and fluorescent "off–on" 1,8-naphthalimide-derivated chemosensor 1 based on an F−-triggered desilylation reaction

  • The addition of fluorideions (1.8 equiv., TBAF), the new absorption peak at 510 nm was increased followed by the unique color change from colorless to yellow, indicating that fluoride-induced desilylation reaction take places and the potential 3-hydroxy-4cyano-1,8-naphthaleneimide was produced

Summary

Introduction

Fluoride ions widely exist in the nature and organisms, and play an extremely important role in the metabolic process of organisms. We developed a new chromogenic and fluorescent "off–on" 1,8-naphthalimide-derivated chemosensor 1 based on an F−-triggered desilylation reaction. 2. The test strips loaded probe 1 exhibited efficiently detection of fluorides with significant changes in fluorescence.
