A highly luminescent compound, stilbene-2,4-dimethyl-6-(1,2,2,4-tetramethyl-1,2-dihydroquinolin-6-yl)-1,3,5-s-triazine (MQT), exhibits solvent polarity-induced emission enhancement. A fluorescent sensor array was fabricated with MQT and porous polymer substrates. The colorimetric changes of the array exposed to VOCs can be readily distinguished by the naked eye. Post-processing procedures proved the high selectivity of the array for VOCs.
