Abstract

A new type of chemosensor-based approach to the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) is described in this paper. Two hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene-based chemosensors 1 and 2 were synthesized through click chemistry, which exhibited high binding affinity and selectivity toward TNP as evidenced by UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy studies. ¹H NMR titration analysis verified that CH⋯O hydrogen bonding is demonstrated as the mode of interaction, which possibly facilitates effective charge-transfer.
