    "Naked-eye" detection of inorganic fluoride ion in aqueous media using base labile proton: A different approach
    (2014) Kigga, M.; Trivedi, D.R.
    Two new receptors R1 and R2 were designed and synthesized based on 1-naphthohydrazide Schiff's bases for the colorimetric detection of fluoride ion. The receptor R1 was selective toward fluoride ion over other anions in organic media. The presence of carbonyl group in 1-naphthohydrazide makes -NH proton acidic and therefore it could deprotonate with addition of basic anion such as fluoride. However, the acidic -NH proton easily gets solvated even with the trace amount of water. Alternatively, the receptor R2, encompasses highly base labile, hydroxyl (-OH) functionality which detects basic fluoride ions via deprotonation mechanism not only in organic solutions but also in aqueous media. The mechanism involved in the color change of receptor R1 is deprotonation of acidic -NH followed by stabilization of complex through intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transition which was evidenced by the formation of HF2 peak in 1H NMR titration. The color change of receptor R2 involves initial hydrogen bond formation of F- ion with -NH group and deprotonation at higher concentration of F- ions which leads to intramolecular charge transfer transition in organic media. On the other hand, in aqueous solution of receptor R2, addition of the basic fluoride ion leads to the deprotonation of base labile hydroxyl (-OH) proton, which is responsible for colorimetric detection. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

    Colorimetric anion sensors based on positional effect of nitro group for recognition of biologically relevant anions in organic and aqueous medium, insight real-life application and DFT studies
    (Elsevier B.V., 2018) Singh, A.; Sahoo, S.K.; Trivedi, D.R.
    A new six colorimetric receptors A1-A6 were designed and synthesized, characterized by typical common spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, UV–Visible, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS. The receptor A1 and A2 exhibit a significant naked-eye response towards F? and AcO? ions in DMSO. Due to presences of the NO2 group at para and ortho position with extended ?-conjugation of naphthyl group carrying –OH as a binding site. Compared to receptor A2, A1 is extremely capable of detecting F? and AcO? ions present in the form of sodium salts in an aqueous medium. This is owed to the occurrence of –NO2 group at para position induced in increasing the acidity of –OH proton. Consequently, it easily gets deprotonated in aqueous media. The detection limit of receptor A1 was turned out to be 0.40 and 0.35 ppm for F? and AcO? ions which is beneath WHO permission level (1.0 ppm). Receptor A1 shows a solitary property of solvatochromism in different aprotic solvents in presence of AcO? ion. Receptor A1 depicts high selectivity towards AcO? ion in DMSO: HEPES buffer (9:1, v/v). Receptor A1 proved itself for real life application by detecting anion in solution and solid state. The binding mechanism of receptor A1 with AcO? and F? ions was monitored from 1HNMR titration and DFT study. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

    Aminophenol based colorimetric chemosensor for naked-eye detection of biologically important fluoride and acetate ions in organo-aqueous medium: Effective and simple anion sensors
    (Elsevier B.V., 2018) Singh, A.; Tom, S.; Trivedi, D.R.
    Three new novel colorimetric receptors (R1-R3) based on aminophenol have been designed and synthesized by simple Schiff base reaction and their anion sensing properties were examined, characterized by common spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, UV–visible, 1HNMR,13CNMR, ESI–MS and fluorescence. Receptors R1 and R2 bearing ?OH group at ortho and para position acting as anion binding sites with –NO2 moiety as an optical signaling unit. Receptors R1 and R2 elevated selective and sensitive ability towards F? and AcO? ions over the other competing anions in DMSO as well as in CH3CN. Receptors R1 and R2 showed high capability of sensing acetate and fluoride ions present in the form of sodium salts such as NaAcO and NaF in an aqueous medium. The color of both the receptors R1 and R2 solution changes from pale green to blue and pale yellow to peach color with the addition of sodium salts of acetate (NaAcO) and fluoride (NaF) with a bathochromic shift of 168 nm and 165 nm in the UV–vis absorption spectra of receptor R1 and 103 nm and 100 nm in case of receptor R2 due to ICT transition between the electron rich ?OH and electron deficient –NO2 moiety. Moreover, receptors R1-R2 showed noteworthy fluorescence enhancement, response towards F? and AcO? ion in DMSO. Compared to receptor R2, R1 shows a huge red shift towards F? and AcO? ions in organo-aqueous medium due to the presence of ?OH proton at ortho position which effectively bind with both the anions. The binding constant and stoichiometry of the receptors-anions complex was calculated by using Benesi-Hildebrand (B–H) plot. The anion binding properties of receptor R1 via ICT mechanism was enlightened by UV–vis titration, 1HNMR studies. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

    Design and synthesis new colorimetric receptors for naked-eye detection of biologically important fluoride and acetate anions in organic and arsenite in aqueous medium based on ICT mechanism: DFT study and test strip application
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Singh, A.; Mohan, M.; Trivedi, D.R.
    Novel three colorimetric anion receptors R1, R2 and R3 have been designed and synthesized via condensation reaction and characterized using IR, MS, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. Anion sensing properties were studied using colorimetric, UV–vis titration, 1H NMR titration, and Cyclic Voltammetric Studies. Comparing the UV–visible titration data of the receptors R1 and R2, R2 showed high redshift (??max) in the mixed competitive solution (DMSO: H2O, 9: 1; v/v) of about 155 nm, 157 nm, 169 nm for Na+F?, Na+AcO?, and Na+AsO2 ? ions with LOD of 0.23 ppm, 0.18 ppm, and 0.30 ppm, respectively. The observed spectral change of receptor R2 is due to the anion-induced deprotonation of the OH proton, which is confirmed by UV–vis titration, 1HNMR titration, and cyclic voltammetric studies. Theoretical studies via DFT calculation were carried for R1 and R2 to optimize the structure and to explain the anion-binding mechanism. The application of designed receptor R2 was successfully demonstrated for the detection of F? and AsO2 ? ions using a test strip. The receptors R1 and R2 proved itself to be potentially useful for real-life application by sensing F? and AcO? ions in real samples like toothpaste, mouthwash, vinegar and seawater in a complete aqueous medium. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

    Spectroscopic studies of colorimetric receptors for detection of biologically important inorganic F?, AcO? and H2PO4 ? anions in organo-aqueous medium: Real-life application
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Singh, A.; Nishith, U.; Trivedi, D.R.
    Two new 4-nitrobenzylidene based receptors 2-((E)-(((E)-4-nitrobenzylidene) hydrazono) methyl)-1H-indole (R1) and 2-((E)-(((E)-4-nitrobenzylidene)hydrazono)methyl)-1H-pyrrole (R2) have been designed and synthesized by the simple condensation reaction and characterized by using spectroscopic techniques. The receptors exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards biologically important anions such as F?, AcO? and H2PO4 ? in DMSO and sodium salts F?, AcO? and H2PO4 ? in aqueous medium (9:1 v/v, DMSO: H2O). The receptors R1 and R2 dispensed high sensitivity towards sodium arsenite and detection limit were found to be 0.143 ppm and 0.32 ppm in (9:1 v/v, DMSO: H2O) reflect the stable complex formation of the receptor with AsO2 ? ion in aqueous medium. 1H NMR titration carried out to understand the nature of interaction between receptor R1 and F? ion. Cyclic voltammetric studies performed for receptors R1 and R2 in DMSO exhibited shift in oxidation and reduction peak with addition of basic F? ion signifying strong interaction between receptors and anions. Interesting, receptor R1 exhibited high selectivity for AcO? ion in the different range of pH from (6–11). Furthermore, receptor R1 and R2 showed colorimetric sensing of F? and AcO? ion present in commercially available toothpaste and vinegar in the form of Na+F? and Na+AcO? in aqueous medium. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
