We describe a selective and sensitive fluorescence platform for the detection of trinitrophenol (TNP) based on competitive host⁻guest recognition between pyridine-functionalized pillar[6]arene (PCP6) and a probe (acridine orange, AO) that used PCP6-functionalized reduced graphene (PCP6-rGO) as the receptor. TNP is an electron-deficient and negative molecule, which is captured by PCP6 via electrostatic interactions and π⁻π interactions. Therefore, a selective and sensitive fluorescence probe for ...[more]
