Abstract

Some colorimetric anion sensors have been synthesized where 4-nitrophenyl was treated as a signaling unit and urea/thiourea moieties as binding sites. The receptors, effectively and selectively, recognized the biologically important F- and carboxylate anions from other anions such as Cl- and Br- in DMSO.
