Abstract

A hydrazone (1) based on 2-hydroxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde was synthesized and its anion and cation detection ability were studied. It could detect both fluoride in acetonitrile selectively among anions and copper ions in semiaqueous medium among cations. The addition of fluoride ion to the acetonitrile solution of the receptor produced a sharp colour change from light yellow to bluish green. The corresponding UV–vis measurements showed a red shift of the band of receptor 1 for fluoride and a blue shift of the band for copper ions. The fluorescence intensity of the receptor 1 got quenched with both fluoride and copper ions. The detection limits for both the ions are in order of micromolar level. The practical applications of fluoride detection were extended to oral care products.
