Two auto-reusable colorimetric receptors for selective recognition of fluoride in polar medium are reported.

Inspired by the importance of fluoride detection in aqueous environment, a new methodology is demonstrated by employing the synergistic reaction of fluoride and Cu(ii) salts with a designed Schiff base receptor.

An ion detection methodology employing synergistic interaction between copper(ii) ions and fluoride with 2,3-dipyrrol-2′-yl-quinoxaline (SR1) is investigated with a particular target to detect fluoride in an aqueous environment.
