Fluorescent Materials Containing Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds: synthesis, Fluorimetric Detection of Nitroaromatic Compounds and Color Properties

Schiff bases with pyrene, anthracene or naphthalene groups can act as simple, sensitive, and selective sensors for the detection of trace explosives. We have prepared three new types of Schiff bases with fluorescent properties as fluorescent probes for use in the fluorescence detection of explosives. The detection properties of the synthesized compounds of photophysical and fluorescent explosives were investigated. Spectroscopic methods were used for the structural characterization of the compounds. Within the scope of the study, compounds (A, B and C) were used as fluorescent probes in the detection of some explosives and the data obtained were recorded. Instead of the quenching effect expected by the explosives on the emissions of the compounds, it was observed in some experiments that the emission intensity due to aggregation increased. In addition, the color measurements (CIE standards) and Color temperature (CCT) of the compounds were calculated.
