Abstract
As an important indicator, pH plays an irreplaceable role in health care, food security, and environmental monitoring. Here, a pH-responsive probe SIT-TPE with the pH-responsive N-alkylated indole group that was based on the classic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) group tetraphenylethylene (TPE) core was constructed. The TPE core is fundamentally important that exhibit strong fluorescence in an aggregated state with AIE properties. Its fluorescence intensity has a good linear relationship with pH in the range of pH 5.8–8.8 following with turn-off pH responsiveness and the light magenta color of solution was faded off. In addition, colorimetric indicator paper was constructed by loaded on filter paper, the color changed from light magenta to colorless with the pH increase and it could be cycled for 10 times upon amine adsorption and air. It also be applied for visual monitoring of food (calamari and shrimp) freshness.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
