Area of Science:

Analytical Chemistry
Materials Science
Polymer Science

Background:

Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) are prevalent environmental pollutants.
Distinguishing between structurally similar NACs is challenging but crucial for environmental monitoring.
Fluorescent conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) offer potential for sensitive chemical sensing.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a sensor array capable of differentiating closely related hydrophilic nitroaromatics (NACs).
To utilize fluorescence pattern recognition for identifying specific NACs in aqueous solutions.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a sensor array comprising six distinct cationic fluorescent conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs).
Exposure of the sensor array to separate aqueous solutions of nine different hydrophilic NACs.
Analysis of fluorescence emission spectra and application of linear discrimination analysis (LDA) for pattern recognition.

Main Results:

The CPE sensor array demonstrated high selectivity in differentiating between the nine studied NACs.
Distinct fluorescence patterns were observed for each NAC, enabling reliable identification.
Linear discrimination analysis effectively classified the different NACs based on their fluorescence signatures.

Conclusions:

The developed CPE-based sensor array is a promising tool for the selective detection and identification of hydrophilic NACs in aqueous environments.
Fluorescence pattern recognition combined with LDA provides a robust method for analyzing complex mixtures and distinguishing between similar analytes.
