Detection of nitroaromatic vapours with diketopyrrolopyrrole thin films: exploring the role of structural order and morphology on thin film properties and fluorescence quenching efficiency

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 21;51(6):1143-6. doi: 10.1039/c4cc08468c.

Abstract

Sensitive optical detection of nitroaromatic vapours with diketopyrrolopyrrole thin films is reported for the first time and the impact of thin film crystal structure and morphology on fluorescence quenching behaviour demonstrated.
