Abstract:
An efficient fluorescent probe, bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde) oxaloyldihydrazone (1), has been prepared for the selective sensing of Al3+ over other common metal ions in water-containing media. The 1:1 stoichiometry of 1 and Al3+ was determined from Job's plot and Benesti-Hildebrand plot. The binding constant was observed as 1.6×105M-1, and the limit of detection was found to be 0.36μM, which was far below the drinking water restriction of Al3+ by EPA (the maximum allowable value is 7.4μM). In addition, the inherent AIEE features of 1 were observed upon addition of water to DMSO solution due to the restriction of the intramolecular motion, which makes the molecular conformations rigid and planar. Moreover, 1 could act as a novel gelator to form thermo-reversible supramolecular organogel with significant green emission in DMSO-H2O (v/v, 9:1) solution.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...
