Amino alcohol derivatives of both 1,10-phenanthroline and phenanthrene have great potential as functional sensor molecules for the detection of nerve agents by colorimetric assay. Aminoalcohol derivatives acted as turn-on sensors, fluorescing in the presence of DCP, capable of detection in water as well as acetonitrile. Moreover, these derivatives demonstrate selectivity for DCP. We also assessed their optical properties in the presence of hydrochloric, among others.
