“…[5][6][7][8][9] However, little has been reported on the structural property of HCB. [10][11][12] HCB is a chlorocarbon with the molecular formula C 6 Cl 6 . The presence of a rigid planar aromatic p-electron system renders the molecule fluorescent (i.e., HCB is intrinsically fluorescent), 5 and the presence of chlorine (Cl) enables intermolecular interaction with other functionalized monomers.…”

A potential ultra-sensitive detection approach for hexachlorobenzene (HCB), based on the measurement of the intrinsic fluorescence of well-separated HCB molecules in ethanol, has been proposed. Owing to the strong intermolecular π-π stacking interaction of the planar aromatic rings, self-aggregated HCB shows almost no fluorescence. However, the intrinsic emission of HCB can readily be detected in ethanol due to the enhanced emission from the disaggregated HCB, which is related to the hydrogen bond formation between ethanol and HCB. By simply measuring the HCB intrinsic fluorescence, a HCB concentration a little bit higher than 10(-14) M (~0.001 ppt) in ethanol can be detected; moreover, the fluorescence intensity of the HCB increases linearly with the HCB concentration ranging from 10(-10) to 10(-7) M. The approach might provide a simple, fast and efficient method for HCB quantification.
