title: A novel thiourea-based dual fluorescent anion receptor with a rigid hydrazine spacer.
abstract: [structure: see text] A neutral receptor with a rigid hydrazine spacer, N-p-(dimethylamino)benzamido-N'-phenylthiourea, was prepared, and its dual fluorescence in acetonitrile was found to show response toward the presence of anions such as AcO(-), H(2)PO(4)(-), HSO(4)(-), Br(-), Cl(-), F(-), and ClO(4)(-) with high sensitivity and selectivity toward AcO(-).
