Abstract:
Hypochlorite (ClO-), a crucial chemical in the living organism, engages in various physiological activities. However, high amounts of ClO- result in oxidative damage. In this work, a commercially available 2-aminoanthracene (AA) was used to detect ClO-. AA demonstrated distinct properties such as superior selectivity and rapid response (< 30 s) with a low detection limit (140 nM) towards ClO- in 100% buffer solution. Furthermore, the probe exhibited a notable achievement by effectively identifying the presence of ClO- in complicated water samples. In conclusion, AA offers an easy-to-use and accurate method for quantifying ClO- in complex water samples.
