title: Tunable star-shaped triphenylamine fluorophores for fluorescence quenching detection and identification of nitro-aromatic explosives.
abstract: Triphenylamine-based fluorophores containing pyrene or corannulene show variable fluorescence quenching sensitivity toward nitro explosives. The most sensitive fluorophore is capable of detecting TNT on the ng cm(-2) scale; the array is useful for identifying nitro aromatics.
