Abstract
Perchlorate ions (ClO4 −) are prevalent contaminants in the surface, and drinking water that disrupt thyroid function by competitively inhibiting the sodium‐iodide symporter (NIS), posing significant health risks. Here, fluorescence‐based logic gates have been constructed by leveraging the binding interactions between a hemicyanine dye, 4‐[4‐(dimethylamino)‐styryl]‐1‐docosylpyridinium bromide (DASPC22) and β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) that could be useful to know whether ClO4 − ions in water are within the toxicity range or not. In aqueous media, DASPC22 forms nonfluorescent H‐aggregates, but fluorescence is enhanced upon forming host‐guest inclusion complexes with β‐CD. At low ClO4 − ions concentrations, fluorescence intensity further increases due to enhanced complex stability through hydrogen bonding. ONIOM‐based quantum chemical calculations have supported this phenomenon. The enhancement…
