Mercapto thiadiazole-based sensor with colorimetric specific selectivity for AcO- in aqueous solution

A novel acetate selective anion sensor 3 based on azophenol and mercapto thiadiazole had been designed and synthesized. Sensor 3 behaves a single selectivity and sensitivity in the recognition for AcO(-) anion over other anions such as F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), H(2)PO(4)(-), HSO(4)(-) and ClO(4)(-) by naked-eyes and UV-vis spectra changes in aqueous solution (H(2)O/DMSO, 5:5, v/v). The color of the solution containing sensor 3 had an obvious change from colorless to orange only after the addition of AcO(-) in aqueous solution while other anions did not cause obvious color change. (1)H NMR titration results revealed that the binding process includes two steps: (i) hydrogen bonding interactions (for small quantities of acetate) and (ii) proton transfer between the sensor 3 and the coordinated anion (for high quantities of acetate). The association constant K(a) was 7.35×10(3) M(-1). The detection limitation of AcO(-) with the sensor 3 was 1.0×10(-6) mol L(-1).     

Self-assembly of molybdophosphate on a glassy carbon electrode covalently modified with choline and electrocatalytic reduction of iodate.

Choline can be covalently grafted on glassy carbon electrodes using cyclic voltammetric method, forming a stable cationic monolayer-modified electrode (Ch/GCE). Keggin-type molybdophosphate anions, alpha-PMo(12)O(40)(3-), then were self-assembled on the Ch/GCE through electrostatic interactions for fabrication of an electrochemical sensor, which is denoted as alpha-PMo(12)/Ch/GCE. This two-layer modified electrode was carefully characterized by cyclic voltammetry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the sensor exhibits strong electrocatalytic activity and sensitivity toward the reduction of IO(3)(-). The content of IO(3)(-) in a table salt was determined with satisfactory results. The sensor is promising as an electrochemical sensor for the detection of IO(3)(-).     

Anion-selective interaction and colorimeter by an optical metalloreceptor based on ruthenium(II) 2,2'-biimidazole: hydrogen bonding and proton transfer

A new anion sensor [Ru(bpy)2(H2biim)](PF6)2 (1) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and H2biim = 2,2'-biimidazole) has been developed, in which the Ru(II)-bpy moiety acts as a chromophore and the H2biim ligand as an anion receptor via hydrogen bonding. A systematic investigation shows that 1 is an eligible sensor for various anions. It donates protons for hydrogen bonding to Cl-, Br-, I-, NO3-, HSO4-, H2PO4-, and OAc- anions and further actualizes monoproton transfer to the OAc- anion, changing color from yellow to orange brown. The fluoride ion has a high affinity toward the N-H group of the H2biim ligand for proton transfer, rather than hydrogen bonding, because of the formation of the highly stable HF2- anion, resulting in stepwise deprotonation of the two N-H fragments. These processes are signaled by vivid color changes from yellow to orange brown and then to violet because of second-sphere donor-acceptor interactions between Ru(II)-H2biim and the anions. The significant color changes can be distinguished visually. The processes are not only determined by the basicity of anion but also by the strength of hydrogen bonding and the stability of the anion-receptor complexes. The design strategy and remarkable photophysical properties of sensor 1 help to extend the development of anion sensors.     

Novel sulfate ion-selective polymeric membrane electrode based on a derivative of pyrilium perchlorate

A sulfate ion-selective PVC membrane sensor based on 4-(4-bromophenyl)-2,6-diphenylpyrilium perchlorate (BDPP) as a novel sensing material is successfully developed. The electrode shows a good selectivity for sulfate ion with respect to common organic and inorganic anions. The sensor exhibits a good linear response with slope of -28.9+/-0.5 mV per decade over the concentration range of 1.0x10(-6)-1.0x10(-2) M, and a detection limit of 8.0x10(-7) M of SO(4)(2-) ions. The electrode response is independent of pH in the range of 4.0-9.0. The proposed sensor was applied as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of sulfate and barium ions, and to the determination of zinc in zinc sulfate tablets.

Supramolecular chemistry approach to the design of a high-resolution sensor array for multianion detection in water

Reliable sensing of structurally similar anions in water is a difficult problem, and analytical tests and sensor devices for reliable sensing of multiple anions are very rare. This study describes a method for fabrication of simple colorimetric array-based assays for aqueous anion solutions, including complex analytes encountered in real-life applications. On the fundamental level, this method shows how the discriminatory capacity of sensor arrays utilizing pattern recognition operating in multianalyte environments may be dramatically improved by employing two key features. The synergy between the sensor and hydrogel host resembles the cooperative effects of an apoenzyme and cofactor: the host hydrogel helps extract the target anions from the bulk analyte while stripping the solvate molecules off the anions. In addition, the supramolecular studies of the affinity and selectivity of the potential sensors for target analytes allow for constructing an array predesigned for a particular analyte. To illustrate both aspects, an eight-sensor array utilizing colorimetric sensor materials showing selectivity for fluoride and pyrophosphate while displaying significant cross-reactivity for other anions such as carboxylates, phosphate, or chloride was used to differentiate between 10 anions. The quantitative analyses were also performed to show that the eight-sensor array was found to operate across 4 orders of magnitude concentrations (0.20-360 ppm; 10 microM to 20 mM). The applicability of this approach was demonstrated by analyzing several toothpaste brands. The toothpastes are complex analytes comprising both known and unknown anions in various concentrations. The fluoride-selective yet cross-reactive array is shown to utilize the fluoride content as the main differentiating factor while using the remaining anionic components for further differentiation between toothpaste brands.     

Novel indole based colorimetric and "turn on" fluorescent sensors for biologically important fluoride anion sensing

A novel indole Hydrazone receptor 1 has been synthesized by one step of condensation, which can act as an efficient colorimetric and "turn on" fluorescent sensor for fluoride anions; Benesi-Hildebrand equation indicates that 1 associates with F(-) in a 1:1 stoichiometry; [TBA]OH and (1)H NMR titration experiments indicate that the deprotonation process involved upon addition of fluoride anions.     

A novel colorimetric sensor of dihydrogen-phosphate based on metal complex between 8-hydroxy quinoline-5-azo-4'-nitrobenzene and cobalt

A novel colorimetric sensor based on 8-hydroxy quinoline-5-azo-4'-nitrobenzene (1) was prepared and used for recognizing anions. 1 and its metal complex (1.Co) were found to show response to anions such as CH(3)CO(2)(-), H(2)PO(4)(-), HSO(4)(-), F(-) and dramatic color changes were observed. The selectivity and sensitivity of 1 and 1.Co for sensing anions were different, which was in the order of CH(3)CO(2)(-)>F(-)>H(2)PO(4)(-)>HSO(4)(-) for 1 and H(2)PO(4)(-)>HSO(4)(-)>CH(3)CO(2)(-) approximately F(-) for 1.Co, respectively. In CH(3)CN, sensor 1.Co exhibited excellent specificity toward H(2)PO(4)(-), and the color variety was dependent on the concentration of H(2)PO(4)(-) which was attributed to anion structure and stability of anionic complex (1-anion), metal complex (1-Co) and inorganic complex (Co-anion).     

Selective recognition of fluoride and acetate by a newly designed ruthenium framework: experimental and theoretical investigations

An effective anion sensor, [Ru(II)(bpy)(2)(H(2)L(-))](+) (1(+)), based on a redox and photoactive {Ru(II)(bpy)(2)} moiety and a new ligand (H(3)L = 5-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid), has been developed for selective recognition of fluoride (F(-)) and acetate (OAc(-)) ions. Crystal structures of the free ligand, H(3)L and [1](ClO(4)) reveal the existence of strong intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. The structure of [1](ClO(4)) shows that the benzimidazole N-H of H(2)L(-) is hydrogen bonded with the pendant carboxylate oxygen while the imidazole N-H remains free for possible hydrogen bonding interaction with the anions. The potential anion sensing features of 1(+) have been studied by different experimental and theoretical (DFT) investigations using a wide variety of anions, such as F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), HSO(4)(-), H(2)PO(4)(-), OAc(-) and SCN(-). Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry established that 1(+) is an excellent electrochemical sensor for the selective recognition of F(-) and OAc(-) anions. 1(+) is also found to be a selective colorimetric sensor for F(-) or OAc(-) anions where the MLCT band of the receptor at 498 nm is red shifted to 538 nm in the presence of one equivalent of F(-) or OAc(-) with a distinct change in colour from reddish-orange to pink. The binding constant between 1(+) and F(-) or OAc(-) has been determined to be logK = 7.61 or 7.88, respectively, based on spectrophotometric titration in CH(3)CN. The quenching of the emission band of 1(+) at 716 nm (λ(ex) = 440 nm, Φ = 0.01 at 298 K in CH(3)CN) in the presence of one equivalent of F(-) or OAc(-), as well as two distinct lifetimes of the quenched and unquenched forms of the receptor 1(+), makes it also a suitable fluorescence-based sensor. All the above experiments, in combination with (1)H NMR, suggest the formation of a 1:1 adduct between the receptor (1(+)) and the anion (F(-) or OAc(-)). The formation of 1:1 adduct {[1(+)·F(-)] or [1(+)·OAc(-)]} has been further evidenced by in situ ESI-MS(+) in CH(3)CN. Though the receptor, 1(+), is comprised of two N-H protons associated with the coordinated H(2)L(-) ligand, only the free imidazole N-H proton participates in the hydrogen bonding interactions with the incoming anions, while the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded benzimidazole N-H proton remains intact as evidenced by the crystal structure of the final product (1). The hydrogen bond mediated anion sensing mechanism, over the direct deprotonation pathway, in 1(+) has been further justified by a DFT study and subsequent NBO analysis.     

Simple bis-thiocarbono-hydrazones as sensitive, selective, colorimetric, and switch-on fluorescent chemosensors for fluoride anions

Bis-thiocarbono-hydrazones are found to be a class of sensitive, selective, ratiometric, and colorimetric chemosensors for anions such as fluoride (F(-)) or acetate (Ac(-)). The sensitivities, or the binding constants of the sensors with anions, were found to be strongly dependent on the substituents appended on the pi-conjugation framework, the delocalization bridge CH==N, the aromatic moiety, and the hetero atom in the C==X group (X=O, S) of the sensors. Single-crystal structures and (1)H NMR titration analysis shows that the --CH==N-- moiety is a hydrogen-bond donor, and it is proposed that an additional CHF hydrogen bond is formed for the sensors in the presence F(-). A sensor bearing anthracenyl groups is demonstrated as a switch-on fluorescent chemosensor for F(-) and Ac(-). The recognition of F(-) in acetonitrile (MeCN) by a sensor with nitrophenyl substituents is tolerant to MeOH (MeCN/MeOH=10:1, v/v) and water (MeCN/H(2)O=30:1, v/v); at these solvent ratios the absorption intensity of the sensor-F(-) complex solution at maximal absorption wavelength was attenuated to half of the original value in pure MeCN.     

A fluorescent anion sensor that works in neutral aqueous solution for bioanalytical application

Anion recognition and anion sensing are of interest because anions play many important roles in living organisms. Most currently known anion sensors work only in organic solution, but sensors for biological applications are required to function in neutral aqueous solution. We have designed and synthesized a novel fluorescent sensor for anions. The sensor molecule 1-Cd(II) contains 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin as a fluorescent reporter and Cd(II)-cyclen (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) as an anion host. In neutral aqueous solution, Cd(II) of 1-Cd(II) is coordinated by the four nitrogen atoms of cyclen and the aromatic amino group of coumarin. When various anions are added to 100 mM HEPES buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 1-Cd(II), the aromatic amino group of coumarin is displaced from Cd(II), causing a change of the excitation spectrum. While pyrophosphate and citrate were detected with high sensitivity, fluoride and perchlorate produced no response. Among organic anions, ATP and ADP gave strong signals, while cAMP showed little signal. By utilizing the different affinities of the sensor for AMP and cAMP, the activity of phosphodiesterase, which cleaves cyclic nucleotide, was monitored in real-time. The sensor should have many biochemical and analytical applications and the sensing principle should be widely applicable to the sensing of other molecules.     

Ratiometric sensing of fluoride anions based on a BODIPY-coumarin platform

Based on a new coumarin-BODIPY platform, compound 4 was rationally designed and synthesized as a novel ratiometric fluorescent sensor for fluoride anions. The sensor exhibited a large red shift (88 nm) in absorption and a drastic ratiometric fluorescent response (I(472)/I(606) = 17.4) to fluoride anions. Density function theory and time-dependent density function theory calculations were conducted to rationalize the optical response of the sensor.     

Fluoride-selective optical sensor based on the dipyrrolyl-tetrathiafulvalene chromophore

A chemosensor bearing dipyrrolyl motifs as recognition sites and a tetrathiafulvalene redox tag has been evaluated as an optical and redox sensor for a series of anions (F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), HSO(4)(-), CH(3)COO(-), and H(2)PO(4)(-)) in DCM solution. The receptor shows specific optical signaling for fluoride but little electrochemical effect in solution. The solid-state performance of the sensor leads to measurable changes in water. Design implications towards better systems based on these results and other examples are discussed.     

Recognition and sensing of biologically relevant anions in alcohol and mixed alcohol-aqueous solutions using charge neutral cleft-like glycol-derived pyridyl-amidothiourea receptors

In this paper, the synthesis and the spectroscopic investigation of new colorimetric receptors for anions 3-6, possessing a glycol chain at the 4-position of the pyridyl ring, and 1 and 2, which lack such a chain, and the X-ray crystal structure of 2 is presented. Structures 3-6 are able to bind to anions in competitive media, such as alcohol or in a mixture of methanol and water, where the anion recognition gives rise to changes in the absorption spectra, which is red-shifted, in 1:1 or 1:2 (sensor/anion) stoichiometry. The anion recognition for 1 and 2 was also investigated in organic solvents and in a 4:1 mixture of DMSO/H(2)O. The binding of 1 to anions such as acetate, phosphate, and fluoride was also evaluated using (1)H NMR in DMSO-d(6).

Application of a single electrode,modified with polydiphenylamine and dodecyl sulfate,for the simultaneous amperometric determination of electro-inactive anions and cations in ion chromatography

An amperometric sensor with a single working electrode for simultaneous determination of electro-inactive anions and cations, e.g. SO4(2-), Cl(-), NO3(-), Na(+), NH4(+), K(+), Mg(2+) and Ca(2+), was designed as a detector in ion chromatography. The modification of its working golden electrode was based on the incorporation of dodecyl sulfate into polydiphenylamine by electropolymerization of diphenylamine in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate. In ion-exclusion/cation-exchange chromatography, a set of well defined peaks of these anions and cations was obtained at the working potential, +1.35 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode) using a citric acid solution as eluent. The common anions and cations in mineral water samples were determined using this ion-chromatographic system with satisfactory results.     

Electrocatalytic Oxidation and Ion Chromatography Detection of S2O32-, SO32-, I- and SCN- at Glassy Carbon Electrode with Functionalized Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes Film

In this research, a glassy carbon electrode modified with the functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOHs) film was used as an amperometric sensor for the determination of S2O32-, SO23-, I- and SCN-. The electrochemical behavior of those oxidizable inorganic anions at this modified electrode was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry(CV). The experimental results indicate that the modified electrode exhibits a high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of those anions with a relatively high sensitivity, a good stability and a long-life. Separated by ion chromatography(IC) with 1.25 mmol/L H2SO4 as an eluent,those oxidizable anions can be determined by the MWNT-COOHs modified electrode successfully. Under the optimal chromatographic conditions, the detection limits are 1.5 × 10-7 mol/L for S2O23-, 2. 5 × 10-7 mol/L for SO32-, 1.2 × 10-7 mol/L for I- and 2. 0 × 10-7 mol/L for SCN-, respectively. The method was applied successfully to the determination of those anions in environmental water.     

Luminescence lifetime-based sensor for cyanide and related anions

A new Ru(II) complex is described which serves as a luminescence lifetime-based sensor for fluoride and cyanide anions (KF = 640 000 mol-1, KCN = 430 000 mol-1). This chromophore displays observable changes in its UV-vis and steady-state luminescence spectra upon cyanide binding. Prior to cyanide addition, this complex exhibits a single-exponential lifetime (tau = 377 +/- 20 ns). With increasing cyanide concentrations, the intensity decays are composed of two exponentials: long tau (320-370 ns) and short tau (13-17 ns). The average lifetimes shorten as a function of cyanide concentration since the fractional intensity shifts from an initial dominant long lifetime component to the short lifetime component. This work represents the first example of a direct method for the luminescence lifetime-based sensing of anions.     

Carbazole-thiosemicarbazone-Hg(II) ensemble-based colorimetric and fluorescence turn-on toward iodide in aqueous media and its application in live cell imaging

A carbazole-thiosemicarbazone-Hg(2+) ensemble-based fluorogenic probe for detection of iodide in aqueous media is reported. The first fluorescent sensor for iodide anions was constructed based on the displacement approach. An 'ensemble' is able to selectively sense iodide over other anions followed by the release of 9-(butane-1-yl)-9H-carbazole-3,6-dihydrazinecarbothioamide to give a remarkable change of fluorescence turn-on signal at pH 7.4 under aqueous media. The practical use of an 'ensemble' was demonstrated by its application to the detection of iodide in the living cells.
