Abstract

This communication reports the application of rhodamine 6G hydrazide (L) for the selective colorimetric and turn-on fluorescent sensing of hydrogen sulphate ions from aqueous medium. The ring opening of the colourless spirocyclic form of L was selectively triggered in the presence of HSO4- among the other tested anions (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, H2PO4-, NO3-, ClO4-, CN-, HO-, AsO33- and SO42-), which gives rise to a pink colour and strong fluorescence in the visible region. Sensor L showed a detection limit down to micromolar range without any interference from the other tested competitive anions. Sensor L was applied for the construction of two inputs (HO- and HSO4-) INHIBIT type molecular logic gate and naked-eye detection of HSO4- using test paper strips.
