Abstract
As a potent oxidizing agent, hypochlorite is pervasive across various terminal disinfection processes, including water treatment, household blenching and medical sterilization. Thus, the specific visualization identification of hypochlorite in real water samples is crucial for assessing water quality safety and pollutant toxicity. Herein, a novel turn-on colorimetric/fluorescent dual-signal probe AMXM based on 6‑methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-xanthene-4-carboxaldehyde scaffold has been successfully designed and synthesized for highly selective and sensitive detection of ClO− in real water sample. Upon the addition of hypochlorite, the solution's color visibly changes from red to yellow to the naked eye, and a strong yellowish green fluorescence is observed under UV light at 365 nm. AMXM demonstrates an excellent linear response (R2 = 0.9922), with a low detection limit of 56.2 nM, and is unaffected by other potential interfering substances. The mechanism of AMXM’s response to hypochlorite ions was confirmed through 1H NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Furthermore, AMXM was successfully applied to paper test strips and used for the quantitative determination of hypochlorite ions in four real water samples.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
