Fluoride anion sensing mechanism of 2‐(quinolin‐2‐yl)‐3‐hydroxy‐4
H
‐chromen‐4‐one chemosensor based on inhibition of excited state intramolecular ultrafast proton transfer
Light-emitting conjugated microporous polymers have been designed via an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer strategy for fluoride anion sensing.
In this work, we explore the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process and the relevant fluoride-sensing mechanism of two novel chemical systems, 2,6-dibenzothiazolylphenol (26DB) and bis-2,6-dibenzothiazolylphenol (Bis-26DB).
