Abstract
A simple novel dihydrophenazine-based chemosensor R has been developed for the detection of SO32− in DMSO-H2O solution with turn-on fluorescence. Upon the addition of sulfite, the ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) system of the probe was destroyed owing to the nucleophilic addition of sulfite to the formyl group of R. Thus a charming orange-red fluorescence centered at 603 nm appeared, which is favorable for potential biosensing. The reaction mechanism was confirmed by MS and 1H NMR titration. In addition, the detection limit for sulfite was determined as low as 71.4 nM, which is superior to many reported probes. All above results promote the probe as a promising candidate in practical and biological applications.
