Abstract

Diverse means of interactions for dual anion recognition is pretty fascinating area of research. From last few decades, polarized free amine fragments, bond breakage, and related approaches have been tried to achieve the dual anion recognition and discrimination of fluoride (F-) and cyanide (CN-). In this regard, signaling unit in the form of BODIPY dye has been regularly brought in for the purpose. This is attributed to the fascinating fluorescent properties of the fluorophore. In this work, I will be focusing on the basic aspects of the reports besides mechanism of interaction.
