First fluorescent sensor for fluoride based on 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone quadruple hydrogen-bonded AADD supramolecular assembly

J Org Chem. 2006 Mar 3;71(5):2143-6. doi: 10.1021/jo051932u.

Abstract

A simple, highly selective, neutral, fluorescent sensor for fluoride anions is reported. It is based on 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone quadruple hydrogen-bonded AADD supramolecular assembly, and its assembling and disassembling processes are also able to respond to external stimuli reversibly.
