The mechanism of nitric oxide (NO/NO+) sensing is based on N-nitrosation of aromatic secondary amine, which was not interfered by reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. The aggregation-induced enhancement of emission (AIEE) behaviors of the PyDA-NP could be attributed to the restriction of intramolecular rotation and vibration, resulting in rigidity enhancement of the molecules. The AIEE behavior of the probe was well established from fluorescence, dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmiACS omegaDesign of a Pyrene Scaffold Multifunctional Material: Real-Time Turn-On Chemosensor for Nitric Oxide, AIEE Behavior, and Detection of TNP Explosive.PMC6645121809(Sanc)/ST/P/S&T/4G9/210401(2896)/17/EMR-IIShow BDutta AIslam ASMSasmal MMaiti DAli MfalseDesign of a Pyrene Scaffold Multifunctional Material: Real-Time Turn-On Chemosensor for Nitric Oxide, AIEE Behavior, and Detection of TNP Explosive.A dual-emission pyrene-based new fluorescent probe (N-(4-nitro-phenyl)-N'-pyren-1-ylmethyl-ene-ethane-1,2-diamine (PyDA-NP)) displays green fluorescence for nitric oxide (NO) sensing, whereas it exhibits blue emission in the aggregated state.
