Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of a Carbazolyl-BODIPY as a Fluorimetric Chemosensor for F^- 

Abstract

BODIPY dyes have received great attention in the last few years as optical chemosensors since they can recognize metal ions in solutions through optical signals (colorimetric and/or fluorimetric). In this context, our research group reports the synthesis of a carbazolyl-BODIPY derivative and its respective characterization by 1H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Furthermore, a preliminary study of the chemosensory capacity of this BODIPY derivative was carried out in acetonitrile solution in the presence of several anions and a highly selective fluorimetric response was obtained for F-.
