The simplicity of synthesis, significant toxicity of organophosphorus-containing nerve agents, and ease of use of their in-terrorism attacks highlight the necessity to create efficient probes and precise methods for detecting these chemicals. This study developed luminogenic probe 4-(1 H-phenanthrene imidazole-2-yl) benzaldehyde, PB for selectively recognizing lethal chemical sarin mimicking diethylchlorophosphate (DCP) with µM detection limit. Following the addition of DCP to the PB solution, the fluorescence changed from bluish-cyan to green simultaneously; after the insertion of triethylamine (TEA) into the PB-DCP phosphorylated solution, the fluorescence of the original one came back, and it occurred five times.

Reversible acidochromism of a benzoxazole based scaffold and construction of reconfigurable dual output molecular logic gates.

This report explores the reversible acidochromism of a benzoxazole-based scaffold (BPP), which is highly sensitive to the acid-base in the liquid and gas phases.

Colour change is completely reversible in the presence of the base, confirming the reversible acidochromic behavior of the present BPP system.
