Fluorescent and photoconductive nanoribbons as a dual-mode sensor for selective discrimination of alkyl amines versus aromatic amines†
Abstract
Highly fluorescent and photoconductive nanoribbons assembled from an asymmetric perylene diimide (PDI) were used as a dual-mode sensor for sensitive and selective discrimination of two classes of organic amines in the vapor phase, i.e., alkyl amines and aromatic amines.
