UV and fluorescent spectra study the reaction between 1, 8-Naphthalimide derivative and hypochlorite their applications

In this study, two efficient turn-on fluorescent probes based on 1, 8-Naphthalimide for hypochlorite have been rationally devised and constructed. The detection limits of probe 1 and 2 for ClO− were calculated for 2.882 nM and 0.354 μM. Moreover, the optical properties of two probes and their ClO−-addition products were confirmed by density functional theory calculations. And both two probes had the possibility of potentially applied in practical applications such as detecting the hypochlorite concentration of tap water and river water.61
