Abstract

An amidine-based fluorescent chemosensor has been prepared and is sensitive to the viscosity increase of ionic liquid formed during a specialized reaction of amidine groups with CO2, which provides a facile and visible way to detect and sense CO2. It has been found that the greener fluorescent chemosensor has unique sensitivity to CO2, extraordinarily high water-resistance and no problem of carbon monoxide-interfering.
