Luminescent heteroleptic Eu(iii) probes for the selective detection of diethyl chlorophosphate as a G-series nerve agent mimic in the vapor phase using solid-state films

Abstract

The reactive luminescent europium(iii)-based solid-state probes Eu(o-OH) and Eu(p-OH) were designed for the selective vapor phase detection of diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP), a G-series nerve agent simulant, via modulation of energy transfer to Eu(iii).
