(13) Protonation of the pyrazinone sensor with methanesulfonic acid
in DMSO has been reported: Nakai, S.; Yasui, M.; Nakazato, M.;
Iwasaki, F.; Maki, S.; Niwa, H.; Ohashi, M.; Hirano, T. Bull. Chim. Soc.
Jpn. 2003, 76, 2361−2387. Based on the K value of protonation, the
sensor can be determined to have a corresponding pK of −1.0
(DMSO). These data support interactions between the sensor and H-
bond donors that do not involve proton transfer.
