Abstract

A highly selective colorimetric displacement assay for anions, F and H2PO4 , based on calix[4]arene-Reichardt’s dye was studied in DMSO. When calix[4]arene forms a complex with Reichardt’s, the absorption peak at 386, 419 and 632 nm disappeared. Addition of anions to solution of calix[4]arene-Reichardt’s dye causes the blue color of Reichardt’s dye to return as it is displaced from the calix[4]arene. These results demonstrate that this displacement assay can be favorably utilized for the development of potential sensors for the detection of anion such as F and H2PO4 in relation to the other anions.
