A highly specific tetrazole-based chemosensor for fluoride ion: a new sensing functional group based on intramolecular proton transfer

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc. 2013 Feb:102:66-70. doi: 10.1016/j.saa.2012.10.069. Epub 2012 Nov 7.

Abstract

A simple but highly selective colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor for fluoride ion has been prepared based on coumarin chromophore and 1H-tetrazole. Tetrazole functional group provided a novel sensing functional group containing the ESIPT structure for designing fluoride chemosensor.
