Acridinedione as selective flouride ion chemosensor: a detailed spectroscopic and quantum mechanical investigation.

ABSTRACT: The use of small molecules as chemosensors for ion detection is rapidly gaining popularity by virtue of the advantages it offers over traditional ion sensing methods. Herein we have synthesized a series of acridine(1,8)diones (7a-7l) and explored them for their potential to act as chemosensors for the detection of various anions such as fluoride (F^-), acetate (OAc^-), bromide (Br^-), iodide (I^-), bisulfate (HSO₄ ^-), chlorate (ClO₃ ^-), perchlorate (ClO₄ ^-), cyanide (CN^-), and thiocyanate (SCN^-). Acridinediones were found to be highly selective chemosensors for fluoride ions only. To investigate in detail the mechanism of selective fluoride ion sensing, detailed s
