Abstract
Fluorescence probes based on the variations of aggregation state (Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) and Aggregation-Caused Quenching (ACQ)) have received widespread attention due to their simplicity, efficiency and intuitiveness. However, typical probes are highly sensitive to changes in polarity and slight variations in the external environment can cause a complete change in the aggregation state. With the aim of expanding the detection range of the molecular probe, this work adopts a different design strategy from adjusting the molecular backbone but regulates the fluorescence behavior of the Schiff base molecular backbone by introducing different halogen atoms. Systematic studies show that when chlorine serves as substitutional atoms (3,5-Cl Salen), the probe can achieve full-range detection of water content (0-100 vol%) in ethanol and DMF. To our knowledge, the 3,5-Cl Salen represents the best water content probe in organic molecules. Experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the adjustment of halogen atoms can linearly change the charge distribution on the benzene ring and precisely control the strength of intermolecular interactions. At the same time, we developed a fluorescent filter paper based on 3,5-Cl Salen and used smartphones for rapid, sensitive and precise on-site measurement of water content in organic solvents.

Abstract
The water content of organic solvents is one of the crucial properties that affect the quality of the products and the efficiency of the manufacturing processes. The established water determination methods such as Karl Fischer titration and gas chromatography require skilled operators, specific reagents, and prolonged measurement time. Thus, they are not suitable for both on-line and in-line applications. In this study, we aim to develop a real-time and low-cost device with reliable accuracy. The proposed device based on a newly developed thermal approach could non-destructively detect the water content in multiple organic solvents at low concentrations with high accuracy and without the use of any specific reagent. Experiments were performed for the determination of water content in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol. The results show that the proposed device is feasible for the water content determination in methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol at 0–1% w/w. A Bland–Altman plot to illustrate the differences in measurements between the proposed device and coulometric Karl Fischer titration shows that most of the measurements lie within the limits of agreement where 95% of the differences between the two methods are expected to fall in the range of −0.13% and 0.09%. The proposed device could non-destructively detect the water content in organic solvents at low concentrations with high accuracy and without any specific reagent. It could determine the water content in methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol at 0–1% w/w.![]()
