Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objectives of this study were to develop fluorescent probe for arsenic and to evaluate its properties. Boron-dipyrromethene dichloride was successfully synthesized as probe core and metal ligand was introduced to the core. However, final product has not been obtained in the last step.
Interactions between probe core and dissolved humic substances were investigated to find superior probe core for future applications. As a result, specific probe strongly interacted with dissolved humic acid.
