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.
