A novel acridine-based fluorescent chemosensor, BK ((E)-2-((acridine-9-ylimino)methyl)-N-benzhydrylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide), for monitoring ClO− was prepared. The sensor BK was synthesized by introducing a new synthetic route of making aldehyde group using formic hydrazide. Probe BK displayed notable fluorescence quenching in the presence of ClO− and showed a great selectivity over other guest analytes. The detection limit was calculated to be 7.65 μM. Additionally, BK was satisfactorily applied for sensing ClO− in water samples and zebrafish.
A novel fluorescent turn-off sensor JM for hypochlorite was synthesized. JM showed a remarkable selectivity for ClOover diverse competitive analytes, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), via deprotonation reaction. Detection limit for ClOturned out to be 0.60 μM. Sensor JM successfully determined ClOin natural water samples with satisfactory recovery. The sensing mechanism of JM to hypochlorite was demonstrated by fluorescent and UV-visible spectroscopy, ESI-mass, NMR titration and TD-DFT calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
