RESUMEN
The immobilized azo-azomethine receptors on amorphous SiO2, S-B, SiO2 nanoparticles, S-NPs, and NaY zeolite, S-ZY, have been prepared and applied as solid phase sensors for detection of HSO4-, over other interfering anions, in 100% aqueous media. Remarkably, S-B and S-ZY show unique and rapid sensitivity towards HSO4-, which could it easily visualized through naked eye detection even at 5×10-4molL-1 and 4×10-4molL-1, respectively. The fabricated solid phase sensors were characterized using powder XRD diffraction, TGA-DTA, FE-SEM and also FT-IR techniques. Moreover, the related molecular anion receptor, HL, has been prepared and used for naked eye detection of F- and AcO-, in dry DMSO. The anions recognition ability of HL was also evaluated using UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic methods.
