Discriminative detection of nitro aromatic explosives by a luminescent metal–organic framework

Abstract: Nitro aromatics are the principal components of explosives used in acts of terrorism and within improvised explosive devices, among others. Although high sensitivity towards nitro aromatic explosives has been demonstrated, selective detection and discrimination are critical for practical applications. Fluorescence quenching of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is sufficiently sensitive to detect any nitro explosives, but discriminative detection with different numbers of -NO 2 groups is rare. Here we report a st… Show more

“…The quenching mechanism of 1 towards o-, m-and p-NP may be accounted for following three reasons: (1) upon excitation, electrons are typically transferred from the conduction band (CB) of MOFs to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) 45 of analytes 11,[56][57][58] . The greater of the bandgaps between the CB of the MOF and the LUMOs of the analytes, the higher of the efficiency of the luminescence quenching.…”

“…Upon the addition of 90 μL TNP solution, the initial fluorescence intensity of 1 is quenched nearly 93.9%, which is higher than those on the addition of 90 μL other NACs solution (18.0%, 25.4%, 29.6% and 39.1% for NB, m ‐DNB, 2,4‐DNT and PNT, respectively) (Figure ). A red shift (65 nm ) of the emission band upon increasing addition of TNP solution could be a consequence of an energy transfer mechanism occurring between the analyte and the compound (Figure ) …”
