title: A small molecule sensor for fluoride based on an autoinductive, colorimetric signal amplification reaction.
abstract: This article describes a small molecule reagent that is capable of detecting fluoride down to 0.12 mM (2.3 ppm) in water. The reagent reveals this level of fluoride through a novel autoinductive signal amplification reaction that produces an unambiguous colorimetric readout.
