Abstract
New pyrene and anthracene based copper complexes 4 and 7 respectively were designed, synthesized and characterized. The fluorescence behaviour of both 4 and 7 were evaluated towards nitro aromatics and anions. Both 4 and 7 possess high selectivity for the detection of well-known explosive picric acid (PA) by showing maximum fluorescence affinity. Furthermore, complex 4 showed similar sensing efficiency towards PA at different pH ranges. It was also used for real world applications, as illustrated by the very fast detection of PA from soil samples observed directly by naked eye.Entities:
