Triphenylamine-Modified Cinnamaldehyde Derivate as a Molecular Sensor for Viscosity Detection in Liquids.

ABSTRACT: Liquid safety is considered a serious public health problem; a convenient and effective viscosity determination method has been regarded as one of the powerful means to detect liquid safety. Herein, one kind of triphenylamine-modified cinnamaldehyde-based fluorescent sensor (3-(4'-(diphenylamino)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acrylaldehyde (DPABA)) has been developed for sensing viscosity fluctuations in a liquid system, where a cinnamaldehyde derivative was extracted from one kind of natural plant cinnamon and acted as an acceptor, which has been combined with a triphenylamine derivate via the Suzuki coupling reaction within one facile step. Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) was observed, and the rotation could be restricted in the high-viscosity microenvironment; thus, the fluorescent
