Anion binding vs. deprotonation in colorimetric pyrrolylamidothiourea based anion sensors.
A pyrrolylamidothiourea deprotonates in the presence of one equivalent of not only fluoride, but also acetate, benzoate or dihydrogen phosphate in DMSO solution with structural studies using synchrotron radiation confirming thiourea deprotonation in the solid state.
