Indigo-F- as a Spectrophotometric Ensemble Probe for Trace Water in Aprotic Organic Solvents

doi:10.7517/j.issn.1674-0475.2016.04.312

Abstract

Abstract:

A simple spectrophotometric method for detecting trace water in aprotic organic solvents using Indigo-F^- ensemble has been developed. In the presence of excess F^- ions, the color of Indigo solution changes from blue to yellow-green. The resulting yellow-green solution changed to blue upon subsequent addition of trace water, which makes naked eye detection possible. Therefore, the system could be used as a chromogenic probe for detecting water in common aprotic organic solvents. Detection limits were of 0.022%, 0.043%, 0.016%, 0.34% and 0.015% for DMSO, THF, DMF, 1, 4-dioxane and acetonitrile, respectively. The sensing process was studied by ¹HNMR titration experiments. The developed method is simple and easy to operate, and the cost of analysis is low.

Key words: spectrophotometric, aprotic organic solvents, trace water, probe, Indigo
