Recognition Of Fluoride Ions Research Articles

Unique hydrogen bonds between 9-anthracenyl hydrogen and anions.

Unique hydrogen bonds of the 9-H of anthracene moieties in hosts 1 and 2 with fluoride and pyrophosphate ions were observed on the basis of the (1)H NMR experiments. Furthermore, hosts 1 and 2 act as a colorimetric sensor and a fluorescent chemosensor for the recognition of fluoride ion, respectively.

Selective fluoride recognition with ferroceneboronic acid

Redox active ferroceneboronic acid 1 has excellent selectivity in the electrochemical recognition of fluoride ions in the presence of other halides and common anions.
