Abstract

A series of structurally analogous PDIs were fabricated and used as fluorescent sensor arrays. Adjustment of the molecular electron-donating ability and polarity (i.e., chemical structure) was found to greatly influence the fluorescent quenching by different types of amines. Moreover, the sensor array displayed high sensitivity to amine vapors and allowed the fingerprint differentiation of different species.
