Abstract

A 3-D molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film comprising a unit for recognition of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) embedded with a fluorophore for signal transduction and quantification is newly fabricated and shown to be selective and sensitive to the target TNP analyte in solution. The limit of detection of this chemosensor reached a level of subnanogram per liter of TNP concentration. Moreover, this MIP film was fabricated by just one-step electropolymerization from a prepolymerization solution; therefore, the procedure is readily extendable for selective determination of other nitroaromatic explosives.
