Protamine gold nanoclusters − based fluorescence turn-on sensor for rapid determination of Trinitrotoluene (TNT)

Recent advances in aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based chemosensors for the detection of organic small molecules

“…On the other hand, Bener and Apak et al prepared a fluorescent probe based on protaminefunctionalized AuNC (D4) for the detection of TNT. 345 A low LOD of 12.44 mg L À1 for TNT was recorded. On the contrary, the sensing of TNT was achieved via an enhancement in fluorescence or ''turn-on'' when the NAC was introduced.…”

Application of aza-BODIPY as a Nitroaromatic Sensor

“…Explosives are reactive substances with a high potential energy due to the presence of oxidizing and reducing groups in their structures. The most common explosives are nitro-, azide-, peroxo-, and hydrazino-substituted organic compounds . The variety of industrial applications of such compounds from rocket fuels to dye industries is also responsible for a lot of NO 2 pollutants which are emitted by the soil and water .…”

“…The most common explosives are nitro-, azide-, peroxo-, and hydrazino-substituted organic compounds. 1 The variety of industrial applications of such compounds from rocket fuels to dye industries is also responsible for a lot of NO 2 pollutants which are emitted by the soil and water. 2 Under the recent developments in science and technology, access to explosives becomes easier, which not only threatens home-land security but also causes an environmental crisis and puts the public health under risk.…”

New Fluorescent Reporters Capable of Ultra-Sensitively Detecting Trinitrotoluene on Surfaces: A Proof-of-Concept for Finding Hidden Nitroaromatics in the Workroom

“…[17] Common methods for explosives containing nitro groups, such as trinitrotoluene (TNT) in air are known. [18] In solution, some turn-on fluorescent methods for their detection, including our contribution to the field [19] and from other groups [20][21][22][23][24][25] have been developed, but for the detection of TNT, the most common methods are based on fluorescence quenching [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] and selected biosensing methods, [38][39][40] with very few specially dedicated methodologies. [41][42] Analytical methods for the detection of TNT in different scenarios must be selective for nitroaromatics, appropriate for immediate analysis and safe sampling by a qualified operator.…”
