A colorimetric chemosensor for fast detection of thiols based on intramolecular charge transfer

A TCNQ-based triphenylamine derivative ( 1) with strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character was designed as a colorimetric sensor for thiols. Upon addition of thiols, the absorption spectrum of sensor 1 in aqueous solution was remarkably changed because the adduct of 1 with thiol decrease...

Zusammenfassung:A TCNQ-based triphenylamine derivative ( 1) with strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character was designed as a colorimetric sensor for thiols. Upon addition of thiols, the absorption spectrum of sensor 1 in aqueous solution was remarkably changed because the adduct of 1 with thiol decreased its ICT character. Sensor 1 showed highly selective and sensitive sensing ability toward thiols over other analytes. This selectivity could be easily observed by naked eyes, indicating that sensor 1 is a potential colorimetric sensor for thiols.
