Abstract
We report here a selective, efficient and very simple receptor which can easily detect F− in the presence of a wide range of other anions [Cl−, Br−, I−, HSO4−, NO3−, Acetate (AcO−) and Benzoate (BzO−)] by use of colorimetric or fluorometric detection. 4-Chloro-2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl) phenol (CBHMP) is a simple and available phenolic receptor having no special chromophoric function. In this colorimetric method, naked-eye detection of F− with CBHMP is described. Interestingly, fluorometric detection of F− is also possible by highly selective fluorescent quenching response CBHMP in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) media.
