We report the synthesis of two new anion receptors of a covalently linked 1,3,5-triarylbenzoamido-crown ether. Our results show that combined with a picrate salt they act by means of an intermolecular charge transfer process (EDA complex), as naked-eye sensors for basic anions, especially for sodium phytate in DMSO/H₂O (1:1).     

Efficient colorimetric fluoride anion chemosensors based-on simple naphthodipyrrolidone dyes

Two novel lactam-containing compounds based on simple naphthodipyrrolidones have been developed as colorimetric sensors for fluoride anion with high selectivity and sensitivity. The two compounds can selectively act with fluoride anion and exhibit the naked-eye visible color change from purple to blue, and the detection limit could reach the concentration as low as 3.0 × 10^?6 M. The proton nuclear magnetic resonance titrations reveal the happen of intermolecular proton transfer between the hydrogen atom on the lactam N and the fluoride anion. Quantum chemical calculations indicate that the deprotonation can alleviate the distorted degree between the peripheral phenyl and the naphthodipyrrolidone core, and raise the frontier molecular orbital energy levels and decrease the band gap, rendering the protonated molecules a new more batho-chromic absorption band.

Polymer Fluoride Sensors Synthesized by RAFT Polymerization

A series of polymer chemosensors containing naphthalimide signal moiety and imide recognition moiety for the selective detection of fluoride ions (F⁻) were synthesized by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer chemosensors display obvious absorption and fluorescence variations upon the addition of F⁻, which can be observed by both naked eyes and optical responses. The polymers showed higher fluorescence enhancement than its monomer, and the polymers with higher molecular weight have higher sensitivity than those with lower molecular weight. Other halide anions are found to hardly induce any variation of either the absorption or fluorescence spectra.

Halogen-Bonding Strapped Porphyrin BODIPY Rotaxanes for Dual Optical and Electrochemical Anion Sensing

Anion receptors employing two distinct sensory mechanisms are rare. Herein, we report the first examples of halogen-bonding porphyrin BODIPY [2]rotaxanes capable of both fluorescent and redox electrochemical sensing of anions. ¹H NMR, UV/visible and electrochemical studies revealed rotaxane axle triazole group coordination to the zinc(II) metalloporphyrin-containing macrocycle component, serves to preorganise the rotaxane binding cavity and dramatically enhances anion binding affinities. Mechanically bonded, integrated-axle BODIPY and macrocycle strapped metalloporphyrin motifs enable the anion recognition event to be sensed by the significant quenching of the BODIPY fluorophore and cathodic perturbations of the metalloporphyrin P/P^+. redox couple.

Optical Temperature-Sensing Performance of Nd3+:MF2 (M=Ba,Ca, Sr) Crystalline Powders Prepared by Combustion Synthesis

There is a large interest in luminescent materials for application as temperature sensors. In this scenario, we investigate the performance of neodymium-doped alkaline-earth fluoride (Nd³⁺:MF₂; M=Ba, Ca, Sr) crystalline powders prepared by combustion synthesis for optical temperature-sensing applications based on the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique. We observe that the near-infrared luminescence spectral profile of Nd³⁺ changes with the temperature in a way that its behavior is suitable for optical thermometry operation within the first biological window. We also observe that the thermometric sensitivities of all studied samples change depending on the spectral integration range used in the LIR analysis. Nd³⁺:CaF₂ presents the largest sensitivity values, with a maximum absolute sensitivity of 6.5×10⁻³/K at 824 K and a relative sensitivity of 1.71 %/K at human-body temperature (310 K). The performance of CaF₂ for optical thermometry is superior to that of β-NaYF₄, a standard material commonly used for optical bioimaging and temperature sensing, and on par with the most efficient oxide nanostructured materials. The use of thermometry data to help understand structural properties via Judd-Ofelt intensity standard parameters is also discussed.     

Novel Fluorescent Chemosensor for Detection of F− Anions Based on a Single Functionalized Pillar[5]arene Iron(III) Complex

Novel fluorescent chemosensor with good selectivity for F^? anion was designed and synthesized. The sensor has a bearing on a single functionalized pillar[5]arene and Fe³⁺ metal complex (PN‐Fe), which showed prominent fluorescent response for F^? anion over other common anions (Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, AcO^?, HSO4^?, H₂PO₄^?, ClO₄^?, CN^? and SCN^?). These results were evaluated by fluorescent method. The detection limit of PN‐Fe to F^? was calculated to be 2.50×10^?7 mol/L. Moreover, the sensor PN‐Fe³⁺ might serve as a recyclable component in sensing materials.

Molecular logic circuits and a security keypad lock based on a novel colorimetric azo receptor with dual detection ability for copper(II) and fluoride ions

A novel azoimine dye-based colorimetric chemosensor (1) has been designed and synthesised for dual recognition of copper(II) and fluoride ions in aqueous media. Significantly, the outstanding dual-ion recognition properties along with the excellent reversibility prompted us to consider 1 as an ideal candidate for fabrication of multiple logic circuits. According to the response profile of 1 towards Cu²⁺ and F^? inputs, we developed a unique tunable system integrated with one INHIBIT logic gate as well as one OR gate. Also, 1 behaved as a molecular keypad lock with sequential addition of Cu²⁺ and F^? inputs. In accession, a reversible ‘Write–Read–Erase–Read’ function with complementary ‘IMP/INH’ logic gate has been demonstrated through a feedback loop using F^? and trifluoroacetic acid as two chemical inputs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report where the symmetrical bis azo-azomethine dye has been exploited as a molecular keypad lock.

Bithiophene triarylborane dyad: An efficient material for the selective detection of CN− and F− ions

A new fluorescent chemosensor based on bithiophene coupled dimesitylborane (BMB-1) was synthesized and characterized. BMB-1 was used for colorimetric and turn-on fluorescent sensing of cyanide (CN⁻) and fluoride (F⁻) ions, in the presence of other competitive anions in an aqueous (CH₃CN–H₂O) medium. BMB-1 showed a hypsochromic shift (blue shift) with addition of CN⁻ and F⁻ ions in absorption studies. The lower detection level of CN⁻ and F⁻ ions is 1.37 × 10⁻⁹ and 1.75 × 10⁻⁹ M, respectively. The BMB-1 binding mechanism is based on the nucleophilic addition of CN⁻ and F⁻ ions in the internal charge transfer transition of bithio moiety to the boranylmesitylene unit, and the color changes were observed under UV light. This result is further confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. Also, the BMB-1 probe is found to be a good adsorbent for the removal of F⁻ ions in real water samples using the adsorption technique.
