Ultrahigh sensitivity and extremely low limit of detection of picric acid with ionic-liquid modified poly(diphenylacetylene)
An ionic liquid-modified polydiphenylacetylene derivative achieves ultra-high sensitivity (Ksv > 105) and selectivity for picric acid detection, driven by electrostatic attraction, charge transfer, and fluorescence resonant energy transfer.
