We have developed two new colorimetric and fluorescent probes for hypochlorite based on a novel recognition mechanism: amido oxidized nitroso-group by hypochlorites.
The optical properties of the probe 2 and its ClO−-addition product were studied based on DFT and TDDFT were explored at the m062x/6-31+G (d) level.
The probe 2 could be applied in practical applications such as detecting the hypochlorite concentration of sodium hypochlorite disinfectant and bioimagings.
