Abstract
A novel colorimetric and fluorescence turn-on chemosensor TBB with benzothiazolium moiety has been explored, which exhibited the high selectivity for cyanide ion (CN-) in THF-H2O (2:8, v/v) mixture. The aqueous solution of sensor TBB was scarcely emissive. In the presence of CN- ion, the nucleophilic addition of CN- with the benzothiazolium CN bond of TBB produced the new species TBB-CN, consequently resulting in the intense orange-red emission by aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect. Meanwhile, the color of solution was changed from orange-yellow to light yellow. The sensing mechanism was verified by Mass spectrometry, NMR analysis and DFT calculations.
