title: Colorimetric fluoride sensors based on deprotonation of pyrrole-hemiquinone compounds.
abstract: The combination of pyrrole and hemiquinone units produced a novel prototype of efficient colorimetric fluoride sensors, and the presence of the tautomerism effect provides additional means of modulating the sensing behavior.
