Application of Boroisoquinoline Fluorophores as Chemodosimeters for Fluoride Ion and Pd (0).

The development of novel chemodosimeters is currently a prosperous field in organic chemistry. Recently, a new family of fluorophores, the boroisoquinolines, were introduced with satisfying photophysical properties. As a continuation of this research, the application of boroisoquinolines is presented as chemodosimeters for fluoride anion and Pd (0). The new tools showed good selectivity for the detection of the analytes. Moreover, the mechanism of action was investigated experimentally.
