Dual functional and multiple substituted fluorescent star-shaped POSS for a 1+1 > 2 explosive vapour detection

摘要

A dual functional and multiple substituted fluorescent star-shaped POSS has been designed and synthesized. There is effective FRET between the different functional arms. Compared with a single functional probe, the dual functional POSS showed a much better sensing performance to explosive NG and a comparable performance to TNT vapor.
