Polynorbornene derived 8-hydroxyquinoline paper strips for ultrasensitive chemical nerve agent surrogate sensing†
Abstract
The detection of nerve agent simulants is achieved by the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. A “turn-on” fluorescence response upon phosphorylation at 8-hydroxyquinoline of norbornene-based triazolyl functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline (NCHQ) followed by intramolecular rearrangement provides very intense green emission. The detection limit of polymer (PNCHQ) coated paper strips is 25 ppb with instantaneous response.
