Highly effective fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for pyrophosphate over H2PO4- in 100% aqueous solution.

[Structure: see text]. This study demonstrated that Zinpyr-1*Zn2+ acts as a fluorescent and colorimetric sensor for pyrophosphate at pH 7.4. In addition, Zinpyr-1*Cu2+ and DIARB-1*Cu2+ complexes were found to act as selective fluorescent sensors for pyrophosphate. Furthermore, the chemosensors Zinpyr-1*Zn2+ and Zinpyr-1*Cu2+ show highly selective and ratiometric fluorescence changes for pyrophosphate compared with H2PO4-.

A highly selective fluorescent chemosensor for Pb2+.

A new fluorescent sensor based on rhodamine B for Pb2+ was synthesized. The new fluorescent sensor showed an extreme selectivity for Pb2+ over other metal ions examined in acetonitrile. Upon the addition of Pb2+, an overall emission change of 100-fold was observed, and the selectivity was calculated to be 200 times that of Zn2+. The signal transduction occurs via of reversible CHEF (chelation-enhanced fluorescence) with this inherent quenching metal ion.

Unique hydrogen bonds between 9-anthracenyl hydrogen and anions.

Unique hydrogen bonds of the 9-H of anthracene moieties in hosts 1 and 2 with fluoride and pyrophosphate ions were observed on the basis of the (1)H NMR experiments. Furthermore, hosts 1 and 2 act as a colorimetric sensor and a fluorescent chemosensor for the recognition of fluoride ion, respectively.
