Abstract
A novel azo-naphthol-based colorimetric probe APBN (sodium 4-((E)-(4-(((E)-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)amino)phenyl)diazenyl)benzenesulfonate) was synthesized and applied for detecting hypochlorite (ClO−) in aqueous solution. It showed a good selectivity toward ClO− by color change from yellow to colorless via the cleavage of C[dbnd]N bond. Detection limit for ClO− was determined as 0.47 μM. APBN can be used to determine ClO− in real water sample, and also successfully detect ClO− using test kit coated with APBN. The sensing mechanism of APBN to ClO− was illustrated by theoretical calculation.
