Fluorescent nanoaggregates of pentacenequinone derivative for selective sensing of picric acid in aqueous media.
Novel pentacenequinone derivative 3 has been synthesized using the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling protocol which forms fluorescent nanoaggregates in aqueous media due to its aggregation-induced emission enhancement attributes and selectively senses picric acid with a detection limit of 500 ppb.
