title: Highly sensitive determination of low-level water content in organic solvents using novel solvatochromic dyes based on thioxanthone.
abstract: Two thioxanthone-based fluorescent probes exhibited prominent solvatofluorochromism, and they were further found to be useful as fluorescence indicators for the qualitative and quantitative detection of low-level water content in various solvent media.
