A fluorescent chemodosimeter containing a guanidiniocarbonylpyrrole and a 9-(aminomethyl)anthracene moiety has been synthesized. The sensor exhibits ratiometric fluorescence changes for SO(3)(2-) over other anions in 90% water/DMSO. The interesting ratiometric fluorescent changes for SO(3)(2-) are attributed to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the SO(3)(2-) complex induced photochemical reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
