Detection of explosive vapors with a charge transfer molecule: Self-assembly assisted morphology tuning and enhancement in sensing efficiency
Use of a fluorescent organic molecule consisting of binaphthyl functionalized with donor-acceptor substituted stilbenes for the detection of dinitrotoluene (DNT) and trinitrotoluene (TNT) vapors and enhancement in its sensing efficiency via self-assembly assisted morphology tuning are described.
