本文综述了有机硼化合物在氟离子探针领域的研究进展。介绍了基于三芳基硼化合物、硼酸和硼酸酯的有机硼化合物在氟离子检测中的应用,评述了这些化合物的结构和检测性能之间的关系,讨论了检测机理,即有机硼化合物中硼原子空的Pπ轨道使其作为路易斯酸能够选择性地结合氟离子,硼原子与氟离子的结合破坏了硼中心与芳香取代基的pπ-π共轭,引起有机硼化合物光物理性质的变化,从而实现对氟离子的高选择性检测。最后提出了有机硼化合物作为氟离子探针存在的一些问题,并展望了有机硼化合物在氟离子探针领域的研究和发展方向。
The development of organoboron compounds used as fluoride ion probes are reviewed. The organoboron compounds in this paper are based on triarylboranes, boronic acids and boronic esters. The structure-property relationship and sensing mechanism are elucidated. Organoboron compounds as Lewis acid can be used as fluoride probe with high sensitivity and selectivity because they have a unique LUMO in which the T-conjugation is divergently extended through the vacant p-orbital of the boron atom. The complexation of the boron π-electron systems with fluoride ion would interrupt the π-conjugation extended through the boron atom, causing the change of photophysical properties. And some problems and prospect are also pointed out for these organoboron compounds used in the field of fluoride ion probes.
