Abstract

Spirosilane derivatives have been investigated as fluoride sensors. The reactions between these compounds and different fluoride sources, which resulted in structural alterations, have been monitored and quantified by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. The high selectivity of these probes for fluoride ions has been demonstrated in either organic or aqueous media.
