title: Rapid and ratiometric detection of hypochlorite with real application in tap water: molecules to low cost devices (TLC sticks).
abstract: We have designed a chemodosimeter DPNO (weak fluorescence) which can be oxidized to HPNO (strong blue fluorescence) by OCl(-) with high selectivity and sensitivity in a ratiometric approach with a noticeably lower detection limit. The sensor could be useful for the detection of hypochlorites in tap water.
