Abstract
A benzimidazole-based receptor that selectively recognized Cr 3+ without interference from other metal ions was synthesized in this study. The resultant Cr-complex recognized HSO4- and F - via two approaches. HSO4- ions bound to the metal center, causing changes in the fluorescent spectra at different wavelengths, whereas F - ions displaced Cr 3+, thereby switching ON the fluorescent spectra at the same wavelength.
