Acid is a potential interferent in fluorescent sensing of chemical warfare agent vapors

Chemical warfare agents and simulants are commonly detected with fluorescent sensing materials containing nitrogen-based groups, however these groups’ basicity can cause false positives in the presence of acids. Here, the authors disentangle the response of pyridyl-containing sensing materials to ac...
