Anion induced supramolecular polymerization: a novel approach for the ultrasensitive detection and separation of F−†
Abstract
A novel approach for the ultrasensitive detection and separation of F− has been successfully developed. F− could induce a tripodal naphthalene imide sensor (TNA) to result in supramolecular polymerization, leading to strong AIEE. The TNA could act as an excellent recyclable material for F− detection and separation.
