A simple colorimetric sensor for the detection of moisture in organic solvents and building materials: applications in rewritable paper and fingerprint imaging

Analyst, 2019, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C8AN01042K, PaperPawan Kumar, Amrita Ghosh, D. Amilan Jose A simple off-the-shelf dye molecule quinizarin (1), has been investigated for the effective detection of moisture in organic solvents and building materials. Anion-induced deprotonation followed by re-protonation with moisture is the working principle of the sensor system.
