title: An efficient thiourea-based colorimetric chemosensor for naked-eye recognition of fluoride and acetate anions: UV-vis and 1HNMR studies.
abstract: An efficient colorimetric chemosensor with a thiourea binding site and 2-amino-6-nitrobenothiazole as a signaling unit has been synthesized by dithiocarbamate approach. The chemosensor has been utilized for selective recognition of fluoride and acetate anions in dry DMSO solution by UV-vis and (1)H NMR titration experiments. The chemosensor has shown naked-eye sensitivity for both the anions in solution.
