Abstract

Two organoboron based fluorophores pyrazabole and BODIPY have been designed and synthesized by the Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction and successfully employed for fluoride and cyanide ion sensing. Pyrazabole acts as a fluorimetric sensor, whereas BODIPY acts as a fluorimetric as well as colorimetric sensor for fluoride and cyanide ions with ratiometric response. The photophysical properties of pyrazabole and BODIPY exhibit good electronic communication between triarylborane and pyrazabole/BODIPY. The single crystal X-ray structure of the pyrazabole shows a chair conformation for the pyrazabole core. The packing in pyrazabole and BODIPY shows interesting supramolecular structures. The computational studies show good agreement with the experimental results.
