Abstract
Abstract Chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll derivatives possessing a trifluoroacetyl group at the 3-position were synthesized as new colorimetric sensors for amine detection. α-Amino alcohol formation of the free-base chlorin and metallochlorins showed visual color changes from brown to purple and from green to blue, respectively. On the other hand, bacteriochlorin derivative showed large blue-shifts of the Qy peak in the near-infrared region (775 → 724 nm) and the Qx peak in the visible region (549 → 520 nm), which are advantageous points for amine sensing. Clear color change was observed from pink to turquoise by the formation of α-amino alcohol adduct.
