In this work, we reported an anthracene carboxyimide-based chemosensor (AC-Phos) for colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence detection of highly toxic phosgene, which displayed rapid response (<5 min) toward phosgene with a high selectivity and a low detection limit (2.3 nM). Furthermore, a facile testing membrane with a polystyrene immobilizing chemosensor has been fabricated for real-time visualizing of gaseous phosgene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
