Constitutional isomers of dendrimer-like pyrene substituted cyclotriphosphazenes: synthesis, theoretical calculations, and use as fluorescence receptors for the detection of explosive nitroaromatics

Abstract

Two constitutionally isomeric bis-pyrenyl phenol dendrons (4and6) and their dendrimer-like cyclotriphosphazene derivatives (5and7) are designed, synthesized and fluorescence detection behaviors are evaluated for nitro aromatic compounds (NACs).
