Rapid ‘naked eye’ response of DCP, a nerve agent simulant: from molecules to low-cost devices for both liquid and vapour phase detection

A rhodamine-based new chemosensor, RHM, has been designed and synthesized. It reacts selectively with the organophosphate compound, DCP, a well-known nerve gas simulant (both in the liquid and vapour phase).

Colorimetric barbiturate sensing with hybrid spin crossover assemblies

Iron-based spin crossover complexes can be used as selective, visible sensors for barbiturates in the presence of other biologically relevant hydrogen bonding species.
