A Fluorescent Sensor for Dinitrobenzoic Acid Based on a Cyanuric Acid and Xanthene Skeleton

A new fluorescent sensor based on a dimethylxanthene skeleton has beensynthesized. Because of its oxyanion hole structure, this receptor includes a suitablecavity for the association of carboxylic acids. The receptor’s fluorescence is quenchedupon addition of dinitrobenzoic acid.
