Ratiometric fluorescence probes for visible detection and accurate identification of MPEA vapor.

ABSTRACT: Methamphetamine (MA), as one kind of overflowed synthetic illicit drugs, has posed severe threats to health and social security. However, the on-site and visible fluorescence detection to MA remains limited. Herein, through covalently coupling diphenylacridine (DPA) and dimethylacridine (DMA) with pyridine, two ratiometric fluorescence probes (PyDPA and PyDMA) are constructed, which present rapid response, bathochromic-shifts over 100 nm and visible fluorescence color changes from blue to cyan upon the exposure to methylphenethylamine (MPEA, a simulant of MA). And the similar responses are observed for MA in confiscated samples. Further, a smartphone-based quantitative detected system is established to provide the on-site trace detection of MPEA as ppb level. Specially, PyDPA or PyDMA can
