The 8-Silyloxyquinoline Scaffold As A Versatile Platform For The Sensitive Detection Of Aqueous Fluoride, Xinqi Zhou
Department of Chemistry: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
As one of the most essential elements in nature, fluoride has been well known and extensively studied since the 16th century. Since then the two-edged nature of fluoride in biological systems has been well described. Specifically, moderate fluoride exposure can aid in tooth and bone development, while fluoride overexposure results in the depilating disease known as fluorosis. Because of the side effects upon overexposure of fluoride, there is a need to develop fast and straight forward methods to sensitively and selectively detect and quantify fluoride concentration in drinking water. With this goal in mind and by taking advantage of …
