Abstract:
Three-dimensional ordered inverse-opal films bearing a reactive trifluoroacetyl group are successfully constructed. Through the specific reaction between cyanide and trifluoroacetyl, the photonic films can selectively detect sub-micromolar levels of cyanide by distinct structural color change. Labeled molecules are not necessary for the sensing mechanism.
