Abstract
Pyridine based fluorescence probe, DFPPIC and its functionalized Merrifield polymer has been synthesized, characterized and used as an arsenate selective fluorescence sensor. Arsenate induced fluorescence enhancement is attributed to inter-molecular H-bonding assisted CHEF process. The detection limit for arsenate is 0.001 μM, much below the WHO recommended tolerance level in drinking water. DFPPIC can detect intracellular arsenate in drinking water of Purbasthali, West Bengal, India efficiently. Graphical Abstract DFPPIC and its Merrifield conjugate polymer are used for selective determination and removal of arsenate from real drinking water samples of Purbasthali, a highly arsenic contaminated region of West Bengal, India. DFPPIC is very promising to imaging arsenate in living cells.Entities:
