Abstract
Efficient detection of chemical analytes using fluorescence-based sensors necessitates an in-depth understanding of the physical interaction between the analyte molecules and the sensor films. This study explores the interplay between the thermal properties of a series of triphenylamine-centered fluorescent dendrimers with different glass transition temperatures (Tg) for detecting nitroaromatic explosives. When exposed to 4-nitrotoluene (pNT) vapors, biphasic diffusion kinetics were observed for all the dendrimers, corresponding to Super Case II kinetics, suggesting rapid film swelling during initial analyte uptake. The diffusion kinetics were further analyzed using a diffusion-relaxation model, where a strong Tg dependence was observed for both the initial concentration-driven diffusion phase and the slower film relaxation phase. Additionally, a difference in kinetics between analyte uptake and release was observed. The photoluminescence (PL) kinetics also showed a Tg dependence, with more efficient PL recovery observed for films composed of dendrimers that had a lower Tg. Rapid quenching of over 40% with little PL recovery was seen in the dendrimer with the highest Tg (107 °C), while a smaller quench with efficient PL recovery was observed in the dendrimer that had a Tg close to room temperature. The results highlight the critical role of the thermal properties of sensor films in achieving rapid and sensitive detection.

Abstract
This research explores the fluorescence properties and photostability of boron nitrogen co-doped graphene quantum dots (BN-GQDs), evaluating their effectiveness as sensors for rutin (RU). BN-GQDs are biocompatible and exhibit notable absorbance and fluorescence characteristics, making them suitable for sensing applications. The study utilized various analytical techniques to investigate the chemical composition, structure, morphology, optical attributes, elemental composition, and particle size of BN-GQDs. Techniques included X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average particle size of the BN-GQDs was determined to be approximately 3.5 ± 0.3 nm. A clear correlation between the emission intensity ratio and RU concentration was identified across the range of 0.42 to 4.1 μM, featuring an impressively low detection limit (LOD) of 1.23 nM. The application of BN-GQDs as fluorescent probes has facilitated the development of a highly sensitive and selective RU detection method based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) principles. This technique leverages emission at 465 nm. Density Functional Theory (DFT) analyses confirm that FRET is the primary mechanism behind fluorescence quenching, as indicated by the energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) of BN-GQDs and RU. The method's effectiveness has been validated by measuring RU concentrations in human serum samples, showing a recovery range between 97.8% and 103.31%. Additionally, a smartphone-based detection method utilizing BN-GQDs has been successfully implemented, achieving a detection limit (LOD) of 49 nM.

Abstract
The detection of nitroaromatic explosives in real samples is essential for environmental monitoring because of their strongly powerful nature and wide applications in industries. Aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) active fluorescent probe has been widely employed to detect nitroaromatic explosives. Hereby, a simple V-shaped bispyrene-based fluorescent probe (called py-o) with AIEE properties was designed and synthesized, which was fully charactered by 1D NMR, ESI, FTIR, and 2D NOESY spectra. The py-o displayed bright blue-green fluorescence excimer emission at 480 nm in DMF/H2O (v/v 1:1). It is observed that the fluorescence excimer emission of py-o at 480 nm was quenched by PA in solution with a quenching constant of 5.45 × 104 M-1, and the limit of detection was approximately 0.139 μM. The details of the sensing mechanism were explained using 1H NMR titrations, Job's plot and Bensi-Hildebrand methods, which revealed a 1:1 binding ratio via the π-π interactions between PA and py-o. Meanwhile, it exhibited outstanding anti-interference ability in the detection of PA when interfering analytes were added under the same conditions. Furthermore, low-cost thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates coated with py-o were developed as fluorescent tools for naked-eye detection of PA in the solid state. Therefore, this work provides a new method for constructing an AIEE fluorescent probe for the detection of nitroaromatic explosives to utilize in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
In this work, a 2H-pyran-2-one-functionalized diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) (coded as receptor 1) was designed, synthesized, and fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The physical properties of molecular architecture 1 were studied employing theoretical calculations. Receptor 1 was elegantly scrutinized for the sensing of explosive nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). Receptor 1 exhibited detection of nitro explosives, i.e., picric acid (PA), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), and nitrophenol (NP), via the fluorescence quenching mechanism. The Stern-Volmer equation was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the quenching process. It was found that 1 exhibited a detection limit of about 7.58 × 10-5, 8.35 × 10-5, and 9.05 × 10-5 M toward PA, DNP, and NP, respectively. The influence of interfering metal ions and anions on PA detection was investigated thoroughly. Furthermore, receptor 1-based low-cost fluorescent thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates were developed for the recognition of PA.

Abstract
Based on the explosive nature and harmful effects of nitro-based explosive materials on living beings and the environment, it is extremely important to develop luminescence-based probe molecules for their detection with excellent selectivity and sensitivity. Two AIPE (aggregation-induced phosphorescence emission)-active iridium(III) complexes (M1 and M2) were developed for the sensitive detection of TNT in both contact and non-contact modes. The aggregate solutions of both complexes (M1 and M2 in THF/H2O, 1/9 by volume) detected TNT at the pico-molar (pM) level. These complexes showed greatly enhanced emission intensity while embedded in a PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate) matrix film. The amplified quantum efficiency, improved phosphorescence lifetime, and enhanced porous network of M2-PMMA composite helps to improve the sesitivity of TNT vapor detection. Interestingly, the sensitivity of the detection of TNT by the M2 complex was significantly improved (5-fold) in a PMMA-incorporated complex (CP) with an observed limit of detection (LOD) of 12.8 ppb. From the BET analysis of CP, it was observed that the mesoporous network of CP has an average pore diameter of 8.52 nm and a surface area of 2.03 m2 g-1. The porous network of CP assists in trapping TNT vapor in a polymeric network containing an electron-rich probe (iridium(III) complex, M2), which helps to effectively trap TNT, thus enhancing electronic communication. As a result, significant emission quenching was observed.

Abstract
The expeditious detection and quantification of V-series nerve agents (VX) on potentially contaminated surfaces are crucial for the prevention of regional conflict incidents, acts of terrorism, or illicit activities. However, the low volatility and high toxicity of VX make these tasks challenging. Herein, we designed two novel colorimetric thin polymeric films to rapidly and sensitively detect demeton-S, a VX mimic, in contaminated areas. The polymeric films were specifically engineered to include a coordination site for Au (III) ions. Initially, these films were coordinated with Au (III), causing a discernible alteration in color due to enhancement in intramolecular charge transfer process. In the presence of demeton-S, the Au (III) ligands in the films are displaced with demeton-S, resulting in the restoration of the original color of the film, as the enhanced intramolecular charge transfer process is inhibited and thereby serving as an indicator of the presence of demeton-S. The polymeric films exhibit remarkable selectivity toward demeton-S compared to G-type nerve agents and other interference. The reusability of the polymeric films for demeton-S detection was achieved owing to the reversibility of the films during the alternative exposure of Au (III) and demeton-S. The polymeric films demonstrated their applicability for demeton-S detection and quantification in several contaminated areas, including different water, soil, and skin, rendering them highly suitable for on-site measurements.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates the influence of small portion (20 %) of organic co-solvent (DMSO/THF/ACN/MeOH) in mixed aqueous media (80 % water) in controlling the size, quantum yield and life time of the through space charge transfer assemblies (TSCT) of pentacenequinone derivative (TPy-PCQ-TPy). Among various solvent systems [H2 O : DMSO (8 : 2), H2 O : THF (8 : 2), H2 O : ACN (8 : 2) and H2 O : MeOH (8 : 2)] examined, highly emissive (Φf =12 %) and nano-sized assemblies having long life time (3.11 ns) were formed in H2 O : DMSO (8 : 2) solvent system. The solvent dependent differences in the size and excited state properties of TPy-PCQ-TPy assemblies are reflected in their photosensitizing behaviour in different solvent systems. Backed by excellent photosensitizing properties, TPy-PCQ-TPy assemblies smoothly catalyse the photoamidation reactions between unactivated/activated aldehydes and secondary amine under mild reaction conditions (visible light irradiation, aerial atmosphere, room temperature) in H2 O : DMSO (8 : 2) solvent mixture. The as prepared assemblies of TPy-PCQ-TPy also exhibit high potential to catalyse the oxidation of benzyl alcohols to aromatic aldehydes, thus, generating a possibility to use aromatic alcohols as the starting material in photoamidation reactions. The real time application of TSCT assemblies has also been demonstrated in gram scale transformation of aromatic aldehydes to aromatic amides and photooxidation of benzyl alcohol to aromatic aldehyde.

Abstract
Explosive nitroaromatic compounds (epNACs) are a group of chemicals that have caused significant human casualties through terrorist attacks and they also pose health risks. For the benefit of homeland security and environmental health, there is room for advancing research on the precise detection of epNACs. Coordination polymers (CPs) successfully serve this purpose because of their binding abilities and quenching capabilities. In this regard, a one-dimensional (1D) CP [Zn(bdc)(avp)2(H2O)]n (1; H2bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid and avp = 4-[2-(9-anthryl)vinyl]pyridine) was synthesized, which remarkably demonstrated extremely efficient ratiometric and selective sensing capacity toward epNACs and the mutagenic pollutant 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) with a quick response. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided a thorough analysis of the mechanistic routes behind the quenching reaction. Herein, geometrically accessible interaction sites were strategically decorated using anthracene moieties, allowing the quick and precise detection of explosive nitro derivatives and the carcinogenic pollutant TNP with increased sensitivity.

Abstract
Methods for the remote detection of warfare agents and explosives have been in high demand in recent times. Among the several detection methods, fluorescence methods appear to be more convenient due to their low cost, simple operation, fast response time, and naked-eye-visible sensory response. For fluorescence methods, a large variety of fluorescent materials, such as small-molecule-based fluorophores, aggregation-induced emission fluorophores/materials, and supramolecular systems, have been reported in the literature. Among them, fluorescent (bio)polymers/(bio)polymer-based materials have gained wide attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and sensory performance, their ability to recognize explosives via different sensing mechanisms and their combinations, and, finally, the so-called amplification of the sensory response. This review provides the most up-to-date data on the utilization of polymers and polymer-based materials for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs)/nitro-explosives (NEs) in the last decade. The literature data have been arranged depending on the polymer type and/or sensory mechanism.

Abstract
The abuse of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics causes the accumulation of their residue in the environment, which has an irreversible impact on food safety and human health. In light of this, it is vital to offer a portable, quick, efficient, and selective sensing platform to detect TC instantly. Herein, we have successfully developed a sensor using silk fibroin-decorated thiol-branched graphene oxide quantum dots through a well-known thiol-ene click reaction. It is applied to ratiometric fluorescence sensing of TC in real samples in the linear range of 0-90 nM, with the detection limit of 49.69, 47.76, 55.25, 47.90, and 45.78 nM for deionized water, chicken sample, fish sample, human blood serum, and honey sample, respectively. With the gradual addition of TC to the liquid media, the sensor develops a synergetic luminous effect in which the fluorescence intensity of the nanoprobe steadily declines at 413 nm, while the intensity of a newly emerging peak increases at 528 nm, maintaining a ratio that is dependent on the analyte concentration. The increase of luminescence properties in the liquid media is clearly visible by naked eyes in the presence of 365 nm UV light. The result helps us in building a filter paper strip-based portable smart sensor using an electric circuit comprising a 365 nm LED (light-emitting diode) powered by a mobile phone battery which is attached just below the rear camera of a smartphone. The camera of the smartphone captures the color changes that occur throughout the sensing process and translates into readable RGB data. The dependency of color intensity with respect to the concentration of TC was evaluated by deducing a calibration curve from where the limit of detection was calculated and found to be 0.125 μM. These kinds of gadgets are important for the possible real-time, on-the-spot, quick detection of analytes in situations where high-end approaches are not easily accessible.

Abstract
New fluorescent polymeric sensors containing in situ photogenerated gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and fluorescein-based copolymers are reported. They are tested as efficient fluorescent chemosensors for the sensitive detection of toxic divalent metal ions, such as Co2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, (UO2)2+, Pb2+, Zn2+and Hg2+. Their fluorescence quenching process depends on the concentration of metal cations and is comparatively analyzed for both the starting copolymers and the corresponding hybrid materials. Thus, the best results are recorded for uranyl (4 × 10-6 M) and copper ions (16 × 10-6 M), respectively. The detection limits of the investigated hybrid materials are lower by an order of magnitude compared to the starting copolymers, while the fluorescence quenching mechanism mainly occurred by a dynamic process, following a linear Stern-Volmer relationship. Thus, the report fundamentally confirms the influence of small amounts of Au NP (2 wt%) on the improved sensitivity of the final fluorescent sensors.

Abstract
Nitro-aromatic compounds have a deleterious effect on the environment and they are extremely explosive. Therefore, societal concern about exposure to nitro-aromatic compounds encourages researchers to develop selective and sensitive detection platforms for nitro-aromatic compounds in recent years. In this paper, a new 100% water-soluble cyclotriphosphazene-based bridged naphthalene material (4) was prepared as a small molecule fluorescent sensor for ultra-selective detection of nitro-aromatic compounds. The chemical structure of 4 was extensively characterized by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies (31P, 13C, 1H). The photo-physical properties of the newly developed sensing system were investigated by steady-state fluorescence and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopies. The fluorescence sensor behaviors were extensively evaluated after treatment with the most commonly used metal cations, anions, competitive aromatic compounds, saccharides, and organic acids. The developed fluorescent sensing system (4) demonstrated ultra-selective fluorescence "turn-off" signal change toward nitro-aromatic compounds while other tested competitive species caused negligible changes. To evaluate selectivity, time-resolved, steady-state 3D-fluorescence and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopies were used in fully aqueous media. Moreover, theoretical calculations (density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory) were applied and discussed to identify fluorescence sensing mechanisms toward nitroaromatic compounds for the presented sensing system.

Abstract
Hand-held, compact and portable sensors for on-site detection of environmental contaminants are in high demand for industry 4.0. Here, we have developed a sensor based on luminescent organic-inorganic metal halide hybrid perovskites nanocrystals (CH3NH3PbBr3) with p-xylylenediamine as an additional capping agent for highly sensitive and selective detection of picric acid (PA), with a good linear range of 1.8 μM-14.3 μM achieving detection of limit (LOD) of 0.3 μM. The electrostatic interaction between PA and the capping ligand of perovskite nanocrystals resulted in significant fluorescence quenching, as revealed by the steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy. The applicability of the developed sensor for PA detection was validated with a 3D printed device integrating surface mounting device (SMD) and paper microfluidics. This prototype device was successfully applied as a fluorescence turn-off sensor to detect PA, showing great potential for on-site detection. This 3D-printed paper-based microfluidic optical sensor proved very efficient for naked-eye detection of PA with an inbuilt excitation source, avoiding the requirement of expensive and complex instrumentation.

Abstract
Three coordination polymers (CPs 1-3) are prepared based on diverse electron-donating properties and coordination arrangements of conjugated ligands. Interestingly, this is also reflected in their photophysical properties. The distinguishable high emissive nature of the luminescent coordination polymer shows its potentiality toward the detection of the perilous substance 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) or picric acid (PA). TNP has a higher propensity among explosive nitroaromatic compounds (epNACs) due to its significant π···π interaction with the free benzene moieties present in the CPs. Among CPs 1-3, 2 exhibits the highest sensitivity and selectivity toward TNP because of the most favorable π-π stacking with the conjugated organic linker. The calculated limit of detection (LOD) and corresponding quenching constant (KSV) from the Stern-Volmer (SV) plot for 1, 2, and 3 are found to be 0.68 μM and 7.49 × 104 M-1, 0.41 μM and 8.01 × 104 M-1, and 1.18 μM and 8.1 × 104 M-1, respectively. The fluorescence quenching mechanism is also highly influenced by their structure and coordination arrangement.

Photophysical and Fluorescence Nitroaromatic Sensing Properties of Methylated Derivative of a Pamoic Acid Ester. J Fluoresc 2023; 33:77-90.

Abstract
Rapid and selective detection of nitroaromatic explosives is very important for public safety, life, and environmental health. Current instrumental techniques suffer from high cost and poor site used. In order to investigate fluorescence sensing of nitroaromatics, we prepare a new small fluorescence probe derived from pamoic acid. This study covers the synthesis of Pamoic acid based [diisopropyl 4,4'-methylenebis(3-methoxy-2-naphthoate)] (2) material and characterization of its structure. The methylation of Pamoic acid ester, which we have successfully synthesized in our previous studies, was carried out in this study. Determination of the photophysical and fluorescent nitroaromatic detection properties of the compound forms the basis of the study. Structural characterization of the synthesized compound [diisopropyl 4,4'-methylenebis(3-methoxy-2-naphthoate)] (2) was characterized using spectroscopic methods. In addition, Molecular structure of the synthesized compound was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the final step, compounds [diisopropyl 4,4'-methylenebis(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate)] (1) and [diisopropyl 4,4'-methylenebis(3-methoxy-2-naphthoate)] (2) were tested as fluorescent probes for the detection of some nitroaromatic explosives. It is seen that Nitrobenzene provides the best quenching effect on the compound [diisopropyl 4,4'-methylenebis(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate)] (1) containing the -OH group, with lowest the limit of detection (LOD) value. It was observed that Picric acid provided the best quenching effect with lowest the limit of detection (LOD) value in the compound [diisopropyl 4,4'-methylenebis(3-methoxy-2-naphthoate)] (2) obtained by methylation of the -OH group in the compound [diisopropyl 4,4'-methylenebis(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate)] (1).

Abstract
Five random copolymers comprising styrene and styrene with pendant fluorophore moieties, namely pyrene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, and triphenylamine, in molar ratios of 10:1, were synthesized and employed as fluorescent sensors. Their photophysical properties were investigated using absorption and emission spectral analyses in dichloromethane solution and in solid state. All copolymers possessed relative quantum yields up to 0.3 in solution and absolute quantum yields up to 0.93 in solid state, depending on their fluorophore components. Fluorescence studies showed that the emission of these copolymers is highly sensitive towards various nitroaromatic compounds, both in solution and in the vapor phase. The detection limits of these fluorophores for nitroaromatic compounds in dichloromethane solution proved to be in the range of 10−6 to 10−7 mol/L. The sensor materials for new hand-made sniffers based on these fluorophores were prepared by electrospinning and applied for the reliable detection of nitrobenzene vapors at 1 ppm in less than 5 min.

Abstract
We report on a sensor architecture for detection of hazardous gases. The proposed device is based on the integration of a solid-state quantum dot (QD) photoluminescent probe with a QD photodetector on the same substrate. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated by developing a compact optical sensor for trace detection of explosives in air. The proposed architecture is very simple and consists of a silicon substrate with both surfaces coated with QD films. The upper layer acts as photoluminescent probe, pumped by a blue LED. The change of photoluminescence intensity associated to the interaction between the QDs and the target analyte is measured by the QD photodetector fabricated on the opposite side of the substrate. The sensor is mounted into a small chamber provided with the LED and the front-end electronics. The device is characterized by using nitrobenzene as representative nitroaromatic compound. Extremely low concentrations (down to 0.1 ppm) can be detected by the proposed device, with a theoretical detection limit estimated to be as low as 2 ppb. Results are repeatable and no ageing effect is observed over a 70 d period. The proposed architecture may provide a promising solution for explosive detection in air as well as other sensing applications, thanks to its sensitivity, simple fabrication process, practical usability and cost effectiveness.

Abstract
In this work, we report, the synthesis of Boron and Sulfur co-doped graphene quantum dots (BS-GQDs) and its applicability as a label-free fluorescence sensing probe for the highly sensitive and selective detection of dopamine (DA). Upon addition of DA, the fluorescence intensity of BS-GQDs were effectively quenched over a wide concentration range of DA (0–340 μM) with an ultra-low detection limit of 3.6 μM. The quenching mechanism involved photoinduced electron transfer process from BS-GQDs to dopamine-quinone, produced by the oxidization of DA under alkaline conditions. The proposed sensing mechanism was probed using a detailed study of UV–Vis absorbance, steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The high selectivity of the fluorescent sensor towards DA is established. Our study opens up the possibility of designing a low-cost biosensor which will be suitable for detecting DA in real samples.

Abstract
Nitroaromatic explosives are the most common explosives, and their detection is important to public security, human health, and environmental protection. In particular, the detection of solid explosives through directly revealing the presence of their vapors in air would be desirable for compact and portable devices. In this study, amino-functionalized carbon nanotubes were used to produce resistive sensors to detect nitroaromatic explosives by interaction with their vapors. Devices formed by carbon nanotube networks working at room temperature revealed trinitrotoluene, one of the most common nitroaromatic explosives, and di-nitrotoluene-saturated vapors, with reaction and recovery times of a few and tens of seconds, respectively. This type of resistive device is particularly simple and may be easily combined with low-power electronics for preparing portable devices.

Abstract
Nitroaromatic explosives are a class of compounds that are responsible for various health hazards and terrorist outrages. Among these, sensitive detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) explosive has always been highly desirable considering public health and national security. In this regard, three fluorene-based conjugated polymers (CP 1, CP 2, and CP 3) were synthesized through the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction and were found to be highly sensitive for fluorescence detection of TNP with detection limits of 3.2, 5.7, and 6.1 pM, respectively. Excellent selectivity of CPs toward TNP was attributed to their unique π-π interactions based on fluorescence studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The high sensitivity of CPs to TNP was attributed to the static quenching mechanism based on the photoinduced electron transfer process and was evaluated by fluorescence, UV-visible absorption, dynamic light scattering, Job's plots, the Benesi-Hildebrand plots, and DFT calculations. CPs were also used for colorimetric and real-water sample analysis for the detection of TNP explosive. Meanwhile, sensor-coated test strips were fabricated for on-site detection of TNP, which makes them convenient solid-supported sensors.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 264:120276.

Abstract
A new Lanthanum-based luminescent metal-organic framework, {[La(H2O)4(HL)]·H2O} (1), has been successfully synthesized by employing 3,3',5,5'-azodioxybenzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4L) as a rigid organic linker through the solvothermal reactions. 1 exhibits a two-dimensional (2D) layered structure and a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure is formed by hydrogen bonds between the layers. Stability studies indicate that 1 has good chemical stability and thermostability. Meanwhile, the Ksv values for TNP is 4.61 × 104 M-1 with the LOD of 4.13 × 10-6 M and the Ksv value for Fe3+ is 1.22 × 104 M-1 with the LOD of 1.72 × 10-5 M, respectively, which demonstrated that 1 exhibits high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for the detection of TNP and Fe3+via fluorescence quenching. Significantly, 1 shows high regenerability after five recycling progress for sensing Fe3+. The possible mechanisms associated with the luminescent quenching are discussed in detail through some relevant experiments and tests, as well as the DFT calculations. Based on the above excellent properties of 1, it will have extremely potential to be used as a dual functional sensor for both detecting TNP and Fe3+ in aqueous solution, simultaneously.

Abstract
Amino acids have emerged as a sustainable source for the design of functional polymers. Besides their wide availability, especially their high degree of biocompatibility makes them appealing for a broad range of applications in the biomedical research field. In addition to these favorable characteristics, the versatility of reactive functional groups in amino acids (i.e., carboxylic acids, amines, thiols, and hydroxyl groups) makes them suitable starting materials for various polymerization approaches, which include step- and chain-growth reactions. This review aims to provide an overview of strategies to incorporate amino acids into polymers. To this end, it focuses on the preparation of polymerizable monomers from amino acids, which yield main chain or side chain-functionalized polymers. Furthermore, postpolymerization modification approaches for polymer side chain functionalization are discussed. Amino acids are presented as a versatile platform for the development of polymers with tailored properties.

Abstract
In the past few decades, enormous efforts have been made to synthesize covalent polymer nano/microstructured materials with specific morphologies, due to the relationship between their structures and functions. Up to now, the formation of most of these structures often requires either templates or preorganization in order to construct a specific structure before, and then the subsequent removal of previous templates to form a desired structure, on account of the lack of “self-error-correcting” properties of reversible interactions in polymers. The above processes are time-consuming and tedious. A template-free, self-assembled strategy as a “bottom-up” route to fabricate well-defined nano/microstructures remains a challenge. Herein, we introduce the recent progress in template-free, self-assembled nano/microstructures formed by covalent two-dimensional (2D) polymers, such as polymer capsules, polymer films, polymer tubes and polymer rings.

Abstract
Widespread use of picric acid (PA) in chemical industries and deadly explosives poses dreadful impact on all living creatures as well as the natural environment and has raised global concerns that necessitate the development of fast and efficient sensing platforms. To address this issue, herein, we report a perylenediimide-peptide conjugate, PDI-1, for detection of PA in methanol. The probe displays typical aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) behaviour and exhibits a fluorescence "turn-off" sensory response towards PA which is unaffected by the presence of other interfering nitroaromatic compounds. The sensing mechanism involves PA induced aggregation of the probe into higher order tape like structures which leads to quenching of emission. The probe possesses a low detection limit of 5.6 nM or 1.28 ppb and a significantly high Stern-Volmer constant of 6.87×104 M-1 . It also exhibits conducting properties in the presence of PA vapours and thus represents a prospective candidate for vapour phase detection of PA. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first example of a perylenediimide based probe that demonstrates extremely specific, selective and sensitive detection of PA and thus grasps the potential for application in practical scenarios.

Abstract
Thin polymeric films were developed for the vapor-phase sequential colorimetric detection of a nerve agent mimic and ammonia with high sensitivity. N-(4-Benzoylphenyl)acrylamide (BPAm), N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA), and (E)-2-(methyl(4-(pyridine-4yldiazenyl)phenyl)amino)ethyl acrylate (MPDEA, M1) were copolymerized via free radical polymerization (FRP) to yield p(BPAm-co-DMA-co-MPDEA), hereafter referred to as P1. P1 exhibits selective sensing properties toward diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP), a nerve agent mimic, in pure aqueous media. Upon the addition of DCP, the pyridine groups of P1 were quaternized with DCP, accompanied by a color change from yellow to pink due to the enhancement of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect. In situ generated quaternized P1, hereafter referred to as P2, after DCP sensing was used to selectively detect ammonia via dequaternization in an aqueous medium. Ammonia detection was indicated by a color change in the solution from pink back to yellow. A surface-immobilized P1 film was prepared and employed for the vapor-phase detection of DCP, demonstrating that an amount of as low as 2 ppm was detectable. Ammonia vapor was also successfully detected by the P2 film via the ammonia-triggered removal of the quaternized phosphates. Alternating exposure of the film to DCP and ammonia resulted in the corresponding color changes, thereby demonstrating the reversibility of the system. The reusability of the polymeric film for detecting DCP and ammonia in the vapor phase was confirmed by performing four sequential colorimetric detection cycles.

Abstract
Trace explosives can be detected with the help of a portable device using a flexible active self-assembled monolayer (SAM). 9,10-diphenyl anthracene with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties is selected as the fluorophore. Phosphoric acid as the anchor group is linked to the fluorophore through an alkyl chain and able to self-assemble into a dense monolayer on the HfO2 adhesion layer on a flexible substrate. The dense SAMs show high fluorescence intensity, which can be quenched by nitroaromatic compounds (NACs), and have advantages of high response rate, sensitivity, reversibility, and selectivity.

Abstract
Herein, purely aliphatic intrinsically fluorescent terpolymers, i.e., 1 and 2, are synthesized through one-pot solution polymerization via N-H functionalized and multi C-C/C-N coupled in situ protrusion of fluorescent monomers using two nonemissive monomers. These scalable terpolymers are suitable for highly selective Fe(III) sensing, high-performance exclusion of Fe(III), logic function and the imaging of normal mammalian Madin-Darby canine kidney and human osteosarcoma cancer cell lines. The structures of terpolymers, in situ attachment of fluorescent monomers, clusteroluminescence, adsorption-mechanism, and cell-imaging abilities are understood via unadsorbed and/or adsorbed microstructural analyses using 1 H/13 C NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, fluorescence imaging, and fluorescence lifetime. The geometries, electronic structures, location of fluorophores, and singlet-singlet absorption and emission of terpolymers are examined using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT. For the precise identification of fluorophores, transition from occupied natural transition orbitals (NTOs) to unoccupied NTOs is computed. For 1/2, limit of detection (LOD) values and adsorption capacities are 6.0 × 10-7 /8.0 × 10-7 m and 147.82/120.56 mg g-1 at pHi = 7.0 and 303 K, respectively. The overall properties of 1 are more advantageous compared to 2 in sensing, cell imaging, and adsorptive exclusion of Fe(III).
