Abstract

A high selective colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe based on 4-hydroxy-1, 8-naphthalimide was designed and synthesized to detect fluoride ions (F-). The sensing behavior of this probe was studied by UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. The probe displays an 110 nm red-shift of fluorescence emission and the color changes from colorless to yellow by virtue of the strong affinity of F- toward silicon which can act as a new visual sensor for F-.
