A fluorescence turn-on chemosensor for hydrogen sulfate anion based on quinoline and naphthalimide.
A new fluorescence turn-on chemosensor 1 based on quinoline and naphthalimide was prepared and its anion sensing toward various anions behavior was explored in this paper. Sensor 1 exhibited a highly selective fluorescent response toward HSO4(-) with an 8-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement in the presence of 10equiv. of HSO4(-) in DMSO-H2O (1/1, v/v) solution. The sensor also displayed high sensitivity to hydrogen sulfate and the detection limit was calculated to be 7.79×10(-7)M. The sensing mechanism has been suggested to proceed via a hydrolysis process of the Schiff base group. The hydrolysis product has been isolated and further identified by (1)H NMR and MS.
