Diesters of 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid with tri- and tetra - ethylene glycols were synthesized and characterized, and their photophysical and sensory properties were investigated. These compounds exhibited intense excimeric emission at 521 nm in aqueous solutions, which was attributed to aggregation-induced fluorescence of the pre-associated dimers in the ground state. A strong fluorescence quenching response towards common nitro-explosive components and aliphatic nitro compounds was observed in aqueous solutions through excimeric emission quenching. The chemosensor 4a showed the highest Stern-Volmer fluorescence quenching constant of 8.75 x 106 M-1 in the presence of TNT.
Diesters of 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid with tri- and tetra - ethylene glycols were prepared and characterized for the first time and their photophysical and sensory properties were investigated. In aqueous solutions these compounds exhibited an intensive excimeric emission at 521 nm, which is attributed to the aggregation-induced fluorescence of the dimers, pre-associated in the ground state. In aqueous solutions an intensive turn-off fluorescence response towards common nitro-explosive components, such as 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,4,6trinitrotoluene (TNT), as well as aliphatic nitro compounds, such as pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), 1,3,5trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) and 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) was observed via the excimeric emission quenching. For the most representative chemosensor 4a the highest Stern-Volmer fluorescence quenching constant of 8.75 x 106 M-1 was observed in the presence of TNT.
