| We have previously reported the construction and characterization of a donor-acceptor based fluorescent chemosensor. The responsive component in this system is a small molecule dye that undergoes a red-shift in absorption and emission following interaction with acid. This signal is then amplified via energy transfer from the bulk donor phase to the protonated acceptor. Current research efforts are focused on coupling this highly sensitive sensory platform to recognition elements that allow for specific detection of a wide range of analytes. The bulk of this talk will discuss design, synthesis, and characterization of recognition elements we have designed to couple to our films.
