A Fluorescence Turn-On Mechanism to Detect High Explosives RDX and PETN

Andrew, Trisha L., Swager, Timothy M.·2007·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

A fluorescent chemosensor to detect saturated nitramine and nitrate ester explosives was devised based on a photochemical reduction reaction. 10-Methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH 2 ) was found to transfer a hydride ion equivalent to the high explosives RDX and PETN upon irradiation at 313 nm in degassed acetonitrile solutions. Mechanistic photophysical studies indicate that the photoreduction of RDX proceeds via a two-step electron−hydrogen atom transfer reaction, whereas PETN photoreduction proceeds via a three-step electron−proton−electron transfer sequence. A zinc analogue was synthesized and found to display an 80- or 25-fold increase in 480 nm emission intensity upon reaction with RDX or PETN, respectively. Moreover, the Zn analogue was found to be unresponsive to TNT and other common contaminants, in addition to being photostable under ambient conditions. On the basis of these characteristics, we report a powerful chemosensor that displays a direct fluorescent response to either RDX or PETN.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
