Highly sensitive and selective detection of DCP vapors using pyridine-based fluorescent nanofilms†
Abstract
A novel fluorescent nanofilm DBAP-ETTA has been developed for diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) vapor detection with high sensitivity and selectivity. Its smooth, homogeneous structure and large Stokes shift enable significant fluorescence quenching upon DCP exposure. The protonation-based sensing mechanism makes it ideal for real-time, portable DCP vapor sensing.
