Journal ArticleDOI
Anion recognition and sensing in organic and aqueous media using luminescent and colorimetric sensors
TL;DR: In this article, a review article focuses primarily on the work carried in our laboratories over the last few years using luminescent and colorimetric sensors, where the anion recognition occurs through hydrogen bonding in organic or aqueous solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent sensing of pyrophosphate and bis-carboxylates with charge neutral PET chemosensors.
TL;DR: The fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer chemosensors 2 and 3 were designed for the recognition of anions possessing two binding sides such as dicarboxylates and pyrophosphate; the anion recognition in DMSO takes place through the two charge neutral thiourea receptor sites with concomitant PET quenching of the anthracene moiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensing of anions using charge neutral chemosensors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the charge neutral anthracene based fluorescent sensors 1a−c, having an aromatic or aliphatic thiourea moiety as an anion receptor, show ideal PET sensor behavior where the anthracenes fluorescence emission is selectively quenched upon titration with AcO−, H2PO4− and F− but not by Cl− and Br− in DMSO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design, synthesis and photophysical studies of simple fluorescent anion PET sensors using charge neutral thiourea receptors

TL;DR: Four fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer chemosensors 1-4 for anions showed 'ideal' behaviour where only the fluorescence emission was quenched upon anion recognition, due to enhanced efficiency of electron transfer quenching from the receptor to the excited state of the fluorophore.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and photophysical evaluation of charge neutral thiourea or urea based fluorescent PET sensors for bis-carboxylates and pyrophosphate.
TL;DR: The synthesis of the fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) chemosensors 1-3 for bis-anions such as bis-carboxylates and pyrophosphate in organic solvents is described herein and it is proposed that the anion most likely bridges the fluorophore moiety.
