Abstract

2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (TNP), an extremely perilous nitro explosive environmental pollutant, has been detected in aqueous medium with high selectivity and sensitivity. For the first-time, a supramolecular self-assembled crystalline organic solid, originating from a simple discrete molecule has been exploited for selective TNP-detection in the presence of other nitro analytes in water. (Graph Presented).
