Abstract
A new turn-on probe (SWJT-20) based on isophorone fluorophore for the detection of nerve agent mimic diethyl chlorophosphite (DCP) was designed and synthesized. SWJT-20 could rapidly respond to DCP within 2 s using UV-Vis or fluorescent spectra, accompanied by a significant change in the solution color under visible light or UV light, which could be observed by the naked eyes. The detection limit of SWJT-20 to DCP was as low as 8.3 nM, which is lower than those of most reported fluorescent probes for DCP detection. Additionally, SWJT-20 could quantitatively measure DCP using ratio changes in A427/A645 in absorption spectra. Furthermore, facile paper as sensors with the visualization of colorimetric/fluorometric responses based on SWJT-20 has been fabricated. Notably, this probe could detect DCP vapor through gas diffusion experiments.
