title: A fluorescence-switchable luminogen in the solid state: a sensitive and selective sensor for the fast "turn-on" detection of primary amine gas.
abstract: The emission of pyrrole-substituted benzoic acid can be repeatedly switched between the dark and bright states in the solid state by chemical fuming and heating processes, enabling it to work as a rapid sensitive fluorescent sensor for primary amine detection.
