A novel chemodosimeter for fluoride ions based on deprotonation of the C–H group followed by an autoxidative decyanation process†
Abstract
A novel chemodosimeter 4 for fluoride ions (F−) based on deprotonation of the C–H group followed by an autoxidative decyanation process has been developed for the first time, with a “naked-eye” response (OFF–ON–OFF) and ratiometric chromofluorogenic selective sensing for F−.
