This review highlights the combined effort of the Torres and Guldi groups in the preparation
and study of porphyrinoid-based photo-and electro-active systems. The perfect synergy …

One of the pressing concerns in national security and catastrophic environmental pollution is
the detection of nitro-aromatics owing to their explosive nature. In the past few decades …

Thin films of styrene copolymers containing fluorescent molecular rotors were demonstrated
to be strongly sensitive to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Styrene copolymers of 2-[4 …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have adverse effects on animal health and the
environment. Terrestrial life and animal health can be balanced by inhibiting environmental …

The exploration of new materials and devices for the identification and detection of toxic and
carcinogenic benzene vapor is considerably significant due to its severe toxicity and …

We report on vapochromic films suitable for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
based on new polystyrene copolymers containing julolidine fluorescent molecular rotors …

Fluorinated block copolymers composed of a polystyrene (S x) first block and a polyacrylate
second block carrying hydrophobic/lipophobic perfluorohexyl side chains (AF) were …

This work deals with the results of fluorescence studies of 4-(5-(methylamino-1, 3, 4-
thiadiazol-2-yl)) benzene-1, 3-diol (MATB) and 4-(5-(methyl-1, 3, 4-thiadiazol-2-yl)) benzene …

In this chapter, aggregation‐induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have been described
as excellent fluorophores embedded in polymer films for applications as optical sensors …

PMMA films containing tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives as red-emissive AIE
fluorophores (AIEgen) were demonstrated to be sensitive to both volatile organic …
