Abstract

A new dibenzimidazolo diimine sensor (DDS) has been designed and synthesized for selective detection of acetate ion. Significant naked eye recognized color change of DDS solution from light yellow to pink upon addition of only acetate ion is accompanied with near infra red (NIR) emission exploiting excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT).
