Abstract
The application of organic cocrystals in the field of selective vapochromic needs to be extensively exploited. The detection for acetaldehyde has great demand in preventing poisoning and explosion. Here, we successfully synthesized phenazino-15-crown-5 (PCE) and accomplished the cocrystal (named PCE⊂TFPA) with tetrafluoroterephthalic acid (TFPA). Interestingly, the cocrystal, as a solid-phase gas detection platform, had a selective fluorescence response to acetaldehyde among fatty aldehydes: with the adsorption and dissociation of acetaldehyde gas, the cocrystal fluorescence undergone a reversible opening-quenching change. This behavior could be attributed to acetaldehyde lowering the HOMO energy level of TFPA when the acetaldehyde molecule was close to the cocrystal. While simultaneously elevating excited state S1 energy level of TFPA, which suppressed the CT process between host and guest molecules finally. Overall, this work on selective adsorption and cyclic response of harmful gases not only offers a general strategy for the efficient identification of organic vapors but also provides novel insights into the reversible gasochromic mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
