Abstract
A colorimetric anion sensor α-meso-heptaethylcalix[4]pyrrole-meso-3-aminophenyl-p-nitrobenzaldoxime was synthesised and characterised by various spectroscopic techniques. Anion-binding studies were carried out using UV–vis, and 1H NMR titrations, revealing that the receptor exhibits selective recognition towards F− over other anions. The selectivity for F− among the halides is attributed mainly to the hydrogen bond interaction of the receptor with F− . Receptor showed colour change from colourless to yellow in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride with 1:2 stoichiometry. Cyclic voltammetry studies, carried out in CH3CN, provided evidence of an anion-dependent electrochemical response with F− ion. This response was particularly dramatic in the case of receptor after the addition of ∼1 equiv. of F− ion.
