RESUMEN
A simple, sensitive and selective fluorimetric determination for trace nitrites was developed using an unsymmetrical rhodamine with a high fluorescence quantum yield and large Stokes shift. The method is based on the reaction of the unsymmetrical rhodamine with nitrite in an acidic medium to form a nitroso product, which has much lower fluorescence because the electron-withdrawing effect of the nitroso group influences the system of p-pi conjugation between N atom and benzene ring. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence quenching intensity is linear over a nitrite concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-8) to 3.5 x 10(-7)M. The detection limit is 2.0 x 10(-10)M (S/N=3). The method was applied to the determination of nitrite in tap water and lake water with satisfactory results. The mechanism for the reaction is also reported.

The chiral title compound, C(4)H(10)NO(+)·C(4)H(5)O(6) (-)·H(2)O, is a hydrated mol-ecular salt in which the tartaric acid has transferred one proton to the (S)-2-amino-propan-1-ol mol-ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by a three-dimensional network of N-Hâ¯O and O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration was assigned on the basis of the starting materials.
RESUMEN
A new mixture of 4- and 7-chlorofluorescein were synthesized by condensation of resorcinol with 3-chlorophthalic anhydride in the presence of methanesulfonic acid or zinc chloride. These regioisomers were successfully separated by chromatography. The photophysical properties were examined and their absorption and emission maxima at long wavelength, high fluorescence quantum yield, and narrow emission bandwidth were found, highly favorable for detecting multiple target substances in the same sample. Furthermore, 4(7)-chlorofluorescein was found to be strongly pH-dependent between 4.0 and 8.0, and could be used as pH-sensitive fluorescent probe to measure intracellular pH.
