摘要

N-(2,7-Dichlorofluorescein)lactam-N'-phenylthiourea (L) was developed as a colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor for anions such as AcO-, F- and H,2PO4-. The addition of AcO- anion to the solution of L in CH3CN results in a distinct fluorescence 'ON' observation as well as color change (from colorless to pink). The H-bonding interaction between AcO- anion and thiourea moiety of L induced the ring-opening of the spirolactam of fluorescein moiety, which gave rise to the dual chromo- and fluorogenic changes.
