Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are among the most prominent threats to the human population, our peace, and social stability. Therefore, their detection and quantification are of utmost importance to ensure the security and protection of mankind. In recent years, significant developments have been made in supramolecular chemistry, analytical chemistry, and molecular sensors, which have improved our capability to detect CWAs. Fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors are attractive tools that allow the selective, sensitive, cheap, portable, and real-time analysis of the potential presence of CWAs, where suitable combinations of selective recognition and transduction can be integrated. In this review, we provide a detailed discussion on recently reported molecular sensors with a specific focus on the sensing of each class of CWAs such as nerve agents, blister agents, blood agents, and other toxicants. We will also discuss the current technology used by military forces, and these discussions will include the type of instrumentation and established protocols. Finally, we will conclude this review with our outlook on the limitations and challenges in the area and summarize the potential of promising avenues for this field.

Abstract
Reliable detection of airborne chemical warfare agents (CWAs) at the site and in real-time remains a challenge due to the rarity of miniaturized analytical tools. Herein, an o-carborane-functionalized benzothiazole derivative (PCBO) with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and AIE characteristics was synthesized. The PCBO-based film sensor showed a highly sensitive response to representative simulants of CWAs, and detection limits were found to be 1.0 mg·m-3 for triphosgene, 6.0 mg·m-3 for chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, and 0.2 mg·m-3 for diethyl chlorophosphite. Moreover, the sensor showed great reusability (>100 cycles) and unprecedented response speed (<0.5 s). The excellent sensing performance was ascribed to the microenvironmental sensitivity of the sensing fluorophore, the porous adlayer structure of the film, and the specific binding of the fluorophore to the analytes. Furthermore, discrimination and identification of the examined CWA simulants were realized via the introduction of another fluorophore (HCBO)-based film. Importantly, a portable fluorescent CWA detector was built with the sensor as the key component, and its applicability was demonstrated by the successful detection of a typical CWA sample (Sarin). The present study indicates that fluorescent film sensors could satisfy reliable onsite and real-time detection of harmful chemicals.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents are a class of organic molecules used as chemical weapons due to their high toxicity and lethal effects. For this reason, the fast detection of these compounds in the environment is crucial. Traditional detection methods are based on instrumental techniques, such as mass spectrometry or HPLC, however the use of molecular sensors able to change a detectable property (e. g., luminescence, color, electrical resistance) can be cheaper and faster. Today, molecular sensing of chemical warfare agents is mainly based on the "covalent approach", in which the sensor reacts with the analyte, or on the "supramolecular approach", which involves the formation of non-covalent interactions between the sensor and the analyte. This Review is focused on the recent developments of supramolecular sensors of organophosphorus chemical warfare agents (from 2013). In particular, supramolecular sensors are classified by function of the sensing mechanism: i) Lewis Acids, ii) hydrogen bonds, iii) macrocyclic hosts, iv) multi-topic sensors, v) nanosensors. It is shown how the supramolecular non-covalent approach leads to a reversible sensing and higher selectivity towards the selected analyte respect to other interfering molecules.

Abstract
Organophosphorus (OP)-based nerve agents are extremely toxic and potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and recent attacks involving nerve agents highlight the need for fast detection and intervention. Fluorescence-based detection, where the sensing material undergoes a chemical reaction with the agent causing a measurable change in the luminescence, is one method for sensing and identifying nerve agents. Most studies use the simulants diethylchlorophosphate and di-iso-propylfluorophosphate to evaluate the performance of sensors due to their reduced toxicity relative to OP nerve agents. While detection of nerve agent simulants in solution is relatively widely reported, there are fewer reports on vapor detection using solid-state sensors. Herein, progress in organic semiconductor sensing materials developed for solid-state detection of OP-based nerve agent vapors is reviewed. The effect of acid impurities arising from the hydrolysis of simulants and nerve agents on the efficacy and selectivity of the reported sensing materials is also discussed. Indeed, in some cases it is unclear whether it is the simulant that is detected or the acid hydrolysis products. Finally, it is highlighted that while analyte diffusion into the sensing film is critical in the design of fast, responsive sensing systems, it is an area that is currently not well studied.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricate two types of hierarchical microspheres, i.e., one coassembled from two fluorene-based oligomers (1 and 2) and one self-assembled from a fluorene-based oligomer (1), for ultrasensitive and selective detection of trace sulfur mustard (SM) vapor. On the basis of distinct fluorescence responses of 1-2 coassembled and individual 1 hierarchical microspheres that originate from differential noncovalent interactions between analytes and these sensors, SM vapor can be ultrasensitively detected (30 ppb) and easily discriminated from various sulfides and other potential interferents. Our work that utilizes differential noncovalent interactions to give sensitive and selective fluorescence response patterns represents a new detection approach for SM and other hazardous chemicals.

Abstract
In this work, we report the fabrication of a blend consisting of fluorescent 1 nanofibers and amberlyst-15 particles as a turn-on fluorescence sensor for trace TATP vapors. Fluorescence imaging and lifetime analysis reveal that the interface between 1 nanofibers and amberlyst-15 particles exhibits stronger photoluminescence than the unblended areas because of the formed strong hydrogen bonding between. Furthermore, the interfacial adhesion between 1 nanofibers and amberlyst-15 particles can be amplified by H2O2, which in turn gives rise to rapid and remarkable fluorescence enhancement. When exposed to TATP vapors, the amberlyst-15 component can rapidly decompose TATP into H2O2 that gives sensitive fluorescence enhancement responses of the blend. On the basis of this detection mechanism, fluorescence detection of TATP with rapid response (ca. 5 s) and high sensitivity (ca. 0.1 ppm) is achieved. Here, the resulting blend combines the pretreatment of TATP and detection responses and thereby simplifies the senor fabrication for the practical application.

Abstract
In this work, we report the fast and ultrasensitive detection of a nerve agent simulant in the gas phase, diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP), by using carbazole-based nanofibers from 1. When exposed to trace DCP, the formed pyridine-phosphorylated product in 1 nanofibers can cause amplified ratiometric fluorescence responses, i.e., amplified fluorescence quenching via quenching excitons within the diffusion length of 1 nanofibers and simultaneously amplified turn-on fluorescence responses via harvesting excitons within the diffusion length to give the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) emission at a longer wavelength. On the basis of these amplified ratiometric fluorescence responses, detection of DCP with fast response (ca. 3 s), ultrasensitivity (4 ppb), and improved selectivity is achieved.
