Efficient and continuous detection of sulphide (HS-)
The continuous detection and long-term monitoring of these corrosive species in aqueous media is very important in environmental or industrially relevant water streams
Halogen bonding (XB) BODIPY fluorescent receptors
These receptors are capable of selective detection of HS- in aqueous solutions such as wastewater and biological samples
The receptors are composed of a specific structure with a solid support
The solid support can be made of various materials, and the receptor can be substituted with different groups to modify its properties, allowing for versatility and customisation in detecting sulphide
Reversible binding of sulphide to the receptor
Allows for long-term and repeat detection of sulphide in aqueous solutions, a significant improvement over traditional irreversible chemo dosimeter approaches
