Robust, sensitive and facile method for detection of F - , CN - and Ac - anions.

Sensing of F- , CN- and Ac- is important from the viewpoint of both medically and environmentally. Particularly, sensing of the anions in 100% water by a colorimetric chemical sensor is a highly difficult task as water molecules interfere the sensing mechanism. In this regard, sensor R1, having azo and nitrophenyl groups as signaling units and thiourea as a binding site was prepared. This sensor exclusively detected CN- ion over other testing anions in 30% aq. DMSO solution by exhibiting distinct spectral and visual color changes. However, in 15% aq. DMSO solution, R1 exhibited obvious spectral and color changes in response to F- , CN- and Ac- . On the other hand, we have also designed sensor, R2, having same signaling units of R1, but a different binding site of urea group. Surprisingly, in contrast to R1, R2 exhibited obvious spectral and color changes in 5% aq. DMSO solution only. Further, economically viable "test stripes" were prepared in a facile mode to detect the CN- in 100% aqueous solution. Such stripes can serve as a practical colorimetric probe for "in the field" detection of the ions and thus avoid additional expensive equipment.
