Article Abstract
A novel tellurium (Te) containing fluorophore, 1 and its nickel (2) and copper (3) containing metal organic complex (MOC) have been synthesized to exploit their structural and optical properties and to deploy these molecules as fluorescent probes for the selective and sensitive detection of picric acid (PA) over other commonly available nitro-explosives. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) techniques revealed the inclusion of "soft" Tellurium (Te) and "hard" Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O) atoms in the molecular frameworks. Owing to the presence of electron rich "N" and "O" atoms along with "Te" in the molecular framework, 1 could efficiently and selectively sense PA with more than 80 % fluorescence quenching efficiency in organic medium and having detection limit of 4.60 μM. The selective detection of PA compared to other nitro-explosives follows a multi-mechanism based "turn-off" sensing which includes photo-induced electron transfer (PET), electrostatic (π-π stacking and π-anion/cation) interaction, intermolecular hydrogen bonding and inner filter effect (IFE). The test strip study also establishes the sensitivity of 1 for detection of PA.

A new variety of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) was produced using a hydrothermal synthesis method, based on propanedioic acid and barbituric acid as the sources of carbon and nitrogen. The NCDs were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Zeta Potential，X-ray Diffraction(XRD)，Thermogravimetry-Derivative Thermogravimetry(TG-DTG)，Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Fluorescence Lifetime. The characterization results indicate that NCDs possess an average diameter of approximately 2.

A novel pyrene-based fluorescent probe PYS was designed and synthesized for the sequential detection of Cu and picric acid (PA) under identical experimental conditions. In ethanol-HEPES buffer (V/V = 8:2, pH = 7.4), Cu was selectively detected by PYS through fluorescence enhancement with a binding constant of 7.

In this paper, a series of phenanthroimidazole derivatives 2-(1 H-indol-3-yl)-3a,11b-dihydro-1 H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole(NZ1), 1-hexyl-2-(1 H-indol-3-yl)-3a,11b-dihydro-1 H-phnanthro[9,10-d] imidazole (NZ2) and 1-hexyl-2-(1-hexyl-1 H-indol-3-yl)-1 H-phenanthro[9,10-d] imidazole (NZ3) were synthesized for selective sensing of nitroaromatic compounds used in explosives. The structure was confirmed through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared and single crystal x-ray diffraction data. To ensure the molecules suitability for sensing application, several photophysical characterization were performed.

Fluorescence quenching studies of carbazole with nitroaromatics were studied and compared with 2-phenyl-1-phenanthro[9,10-]imidazole (M1). Carbazole (CBz) can sense all nitroaromatics, in particular picric acid (PA), whereas M1 responds to the ones having acidic hydrogen. The complex formation constant ( ) and limit of detection (LOD) were measured using the Stern-Volmer plot.

The persistence and rising levels of environmental pollutants have driven the development of functional materials for their sensitive detection. Trinitrophenol (TNP), a highly toxic and explosive compound, requires urgent monitoring. In this work, a novel benzimidazole-based covalent triazine framework, CTF , was synthesized via solvothermal condensation of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetraamine tetrahydrochloride and 2,4,6-tris(4-formylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine.
