D–π–A azine based AIEgen with solvent dependent response towards a nerve agent

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: the formation of a new intramolecular charge transfer state in pure tetrahydrofuran (THF). In the aggregated state, DPBN shows blue shifted emission with fluorescence enhancement in THF-water mixture by protonation at the amine nitrogen centre. Thus, DPBN can be used as a diagnostic measure to selectively detect nerve agents like DCP. This study also paves the way for further development of molecular probes for nerve agents that would represent immense implications in various fields of chemistry and biology.
