Abstract
A sensitive colorimetric sensor (1) based on 4,5-dinitrobenzene-1,2-diamine was designed and synthesized. Binding of anions such as AcO(-), F(-) and H(2)PO(4)(-) results in a notable change in the visible region of spectrum (an approximately 90 nm red shift), which can be detected by the 'naked-eye'. Furthermore, the binding ability was evaluated by UV-vis titration experiments as following: AcO(-) > F(-) > H(2)PO(4) >> Cl(-), Br(-), I(-). The nature of the color change of I induced by AcO(-) was due to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) which was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure and (1)H NMR titration spectra.
