Abstract: | A highly sensitive chromo- and fluorogenic chemodosimeter for sulfide anion was developed based on its nucleophilicity. 2,4-Dinitrobenzenesulfonyl-fluorescein (I) is a weakly fluorescent compound. Upon mixing with sulfide anion in aqueous acetone solution, the 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl group of I was efficiently removed and highly fluorescent fluorescein was released, hence leading to the dramatic increases in both fluorescence and absorbance of the reaction solution. The fluorescence increment is linear with sulfide anion concentration in the range 50-1000 nmol L−1 with a detection limit of 4.3 nmol L−1 (3σ). The proposed chemodosimeter showed excellent selectivity toward sulfide anion and was successfully applied to the determination of sulfide anion in synthetic wastewater samples. |
