“…9 In previous studies, various uoride sensing molecules containing both chromophore and receptor motifs for color or uorescence emission and recognition of uoride, respectively, were developed. For instance, anthracene, 10,11 anthraquinone, 12,13 calixpyrrole, 14,15 dipyrrolylquinoxaline, 16 and other chromophore molecules have been used as chromogenic units, displaying various colors and/or uorescence. In addition, uoride-binding motifs such as urea, 17,18 thiourea, 19,20 hydrazide, 21,22 indole, 23,24 and imidazole 23,25 groups have been adopted for selective recognition of uoride.…”
