    Journal: Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc; 2012 Nov; 97():429-34. PubMed ID: 22820046.
    Abstract:
    A novel colorimetric chemosensor based on aminonaphthoquinone (L) bearing an N-H receptor unit directly attached to quinone signaling unit has been designed, synthesized and demonstrated. The ligand showed a highly selective colorimetric response to fluoride ions based on H-bond formation with the receptor unit. The binding constants of the L and its square planar [Co(L)Cl(2)]·3H(2)O and [Ni(L)Cl(2)]·4H(2)O complexes, computed using fluorescent enhancement data, were found to be 0.6, 1.5 and 0.9×10(8)M(-1), respectively, indicating enhancement of H-bond donor ability of the receptor unit, as a result of complexation with metal ions, towards fluoride ion sensing. Also, these sensors had high selectivity for fluoride ion detection over other common anions, such as Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), AcO(-), NO(3)(-), H(2)PO(4)(-) and CN(-) in acetonitrile.
