Selective detection of fluoride using fused quinoline systems: effect of pyrrole†
Abstract
Selective detection of fluoride by 2-(3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolin-4-yl)phenol is reported using a turn-on fluorescence method. The presence of a pyrrole ring along with substituted o-phenol is essential as their absence results in either loss of selectivity or decrease in fluorescence intensity.
