Abstract
Sensors for selective and sensitive detection of nitroaromatic (NAC) explosives are of current interest for both national security and environmental protection. In this work, three thienothiophene based AIE active materials (TPE2-TT, TPE3-TT and TPE3-TPA-TT), possessing tetraphenylethylene and triphenylamine units, were designed and synthesized as chemosensors for sensitively detecting 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) and trinitrophenol (TNP) explosives. Among the AIEgens, TPE3-TT demonstrated a maximum Stern-Volmer constant (Ksv) reaching to 2.9 x 104 M−1 by quenching response toward TNP. They exhibited vivid visual quenching on absorbent papers. Moreover, probe-explosive complex interactions and their mechanisms were investigated using density functional theory (DFT). Their remarkable properties indicated that TT based AIEgens are promising probes for sensitively detecting the explosives, which provided a new source of potential leading to new designs for detection of explosives.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
