A gaseous hydrogen chloride chemosensor based on a 2D covalent organic framework

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Apr 11;55(31):4550-4553. doi: 10.1039/c9cc01548e.

Abstract

A tetraphenylethene-based 2D covalent organic framework (COF) has been synthesized. It exhibits a very fast response and high sensitivity to the presence of gaseous HCl by way of distinct changes in fluorescence emission and color, which makes the COF a good chemosensor for spectroscopic and naked-eye detection of gaseous HCl.
