Design of a Comprehensive Experiment for the Visual Sensing of CO2 Using a Synthetic Organogelator
A naphthalimide-derived organogelator was synthesized.The solution derived from the stimuli of fluoride ions to the DMSO gel were found to allow a naked-eye sensing of CO2 stream as well as CO2 in air.The experiment involves some fundamental processes including organic synthesis,property tests,and instrumental analysis.The sensing mechanism was investigated using the theoretical knowledge.It is possibly helpful to cultivate students'comprehensive application ability and independent analysis ability of various experimental skills.
