Definitions
- the present invention relates to the detection of analytes, in particular explosives and explosives-related materials.
- An approach for direct detection of a target analyte relies on the use of luminescent compounds. When some compounds are exposed to light of a certain wavelength, they absorb the light (photoexcitation) and emit light of a different wavelength (luminescence, which can either be fluorescence or phosphorescence). This emitted light can be measured/detected. However, certain analyte molecules may also interact with the (excited) luminescent compound to cause an increase or decrease in the intensity of the emitted light. This change can also be detected and, as such, can be used to indicate the presence of the analyte molecules. Sensors embodying the luminescence quenching approach are commercially available. The sensing materials are comprised of thin films containing luminescent conjugated polymers.
- the present invention provides a method of detecting an analyte, which method comprises:
- step (i) allowing a luminescent compound comprising a triaryl amine moiety to interact with the analyte and measuring the luminescent properties of the compound due to exposure to the analyte; (ii) detecting a difference between the luminescent properties measured in step (i) and the luminescent properties of the compound prior to measurement of luminescent properties in step (i); and (iii) determining whether the analyte is present based on the difference in luminescent properties detected in step (ii).
- the present invention also provides a sensing element for use in the detection of an analy te based on a luminescent response, the sensing element comprising a luminescent compound comprising a triaryl amine moiety provided as a coating on a substrate.
- the sensing element is used in sensor devices that employ the methodology of the present invention.
- the present invention also provides a sensor device for the detection of an analyte based on a change in the measured luminescence, the sensor device comprising a sensing element in accordance with the present invention.
- the sensor device employs the methodology of the present invention.

- Figure 13 is a plot of photoluminescence intensity versus time when a sensing device including the triaryl amine compound shown is exposed to different of analytes.
- the method of the invention comprises: (i) allowing a luminescent compound comprising a triaryl amine moiety to interact with the analyte and measuring the luminescent properties of the compound during exposure to the analyte; (ii) detecting a difference between the luminescent properties measured in step (i) and the luminescent properties of the compound prior to measurement of luminescent properties in step (i); and '
- step (iii) determining whether the analyte is present based on the difference in luminescent properties detected in step (ii).
- step (ii) it is possible for step (ii) to be undertaken in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, this step may be undertaken based on actual measurement of the luminescent properties of the compound comprising a triaryl amine moiety prior to measurement of luminescent properties in step (i). I this embodiment the invention provides a method of detecting an analyte, which method comprises:
- step (d) determining whether the analyte is present based on the difference in luminescent properties detected in step (c).
- This embodiment relies on there being a change in measured luminescent properties as a ' result of exposure of the luminescent compound to an analyte.
- the real time implementation of this embodiment would involve excitation and measurement of luminescent properties prior to sampling for an analyte. Determining the initial luminescent response of the compound (i.e. before exposure to an analyte) is important in order to give a control or base reading against which any subsequent change in luminescent response can be assessed.
- triaryl amine compounds used in the present invention may show advantageous selectivity towards a variety of analytes.
- the compounds can show luminescence quenching in the presence of explosive analytes and/or taggants. More specifically, the compounds show luminescence quenching in the presence of analytes and/or taggants that contain one or more nitro groups. Preferably, the compounds show luminescence quenching in the presence of a nitroaromatic analyte.
- triaryl amine compounds used in accordance with the invention exhibit a fundamentally different photoluminescent response to certain analytes when compared with compounds, such as conjugated polymers, used in existing sensors that operate on the same principles. More particularly, triaryl amine compounds used in the present invention may exhibit a characteristic luminescence response to analytes that allows explosives and explosives- related materials to be readily detected as against every-day chemicals that would otherwise have an impact on detection. In other words, triaryl amine compounds used in accordance with the invention may provide qualitative detection selectivity with respect to explosives and explosives-related materials.
- the triaryl amine compounds may exhibit a detectable response (decrease or increase) in the luminescence in the presence of the explosives and explosives-related materials whereas there is no response, or no significant response, in the photoluminescence in the presence of non-explosive related (everyday) materials such as perfumes, coffee etc.
- the triaryl amine compounds may exhibit a particular response (e.g. a decrease) in the luminescence in the presence of the explosives and explosives-related materials whereas the opposite response (an increase in the context of the example given) in the photoluminescence in the presence of non-explosive related (everyday) materials.
- triaryl amine compounds used in accordance with the present invention may be useful for selective detection of a variety of target analytes (and the scope of this may be investigated for any given compound), the compounds are believed to have particular value in relation to the selective detection of explosives and explosives-related materials as analytes.
- these analytes are nitrogen-containing species and include explosives per se as well as related (functional) materials such as accelerants, taggants and the like.
- the analyte may be selected from 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene (TNT high explosive), 2,3-dinitro-2,3-dimetbylbutane (a taggant typically used in the explosive Semtex), 2,4,6-trinitro-m-xylene (TNX), 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (picryl chloride), 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid); ammonium picrate (Explosive D); 2,4,6-trinitro-m-cresol (TNC), 2,4,6-trinitroresorcinol (styphnic acid), 2,4,6-trinitroanisole (TNA, methyl picrate), 2,4,6-trinitrophenetole (TNP, ethyl picrate), 2,4,6-trinitroaniline (picramide, l -monoamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene, MATB), l,3-diamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (DATB),
- TNT high explosive
- analytes may be found with other compounds in an explosive mixture. It will also be appreciated that analytes need to have sufficient vapour pressure to be detectable.
- the present invention relies on the use of certain compounds that have characteristic structural features and optical properties, With respect to structure the compounds can broadly be classified as luminescent triaryl amines and the presence of the triaryl amine moiety is believed to be significant to the usefulness of the compounds in the context of the present invention.
- the triaryl amine compound must also exhibit suitable optical properties to be useful in the present invention. That is, the compounds must be capable of interacting with an analyte molecule thereby causing a detectable change in luminescence intensity. Preferably, the compounds are. fluorescent.
- triaryl amine compounds ⁇ useful in the present invention will generally be used in sensor devices in the solid phase, usually as coatings/films on a substrate. It is obviously important that the compounds retain the desirable optical properties when provided in this form. Sensor devices useful in the context of the present invention will be discussed in more detail below. Characterising the structure of the compounds in more detail, they can be regarded as conjugated compounds that comprise a triaryl amine moiety. Generally, one or more, preferably one, conjugated molecular structure is bound to each of the three aryl groups of the triaryl amine moiety. The conjugated molecular structure is bonded to the aryl group in such a way so as to preserve conjugation with the aryl group. The conjugated molecular structures may be the same or different.
- conjugated molecular structure means a structure comprising at least 5 carbon atoms with alternating single and multiple bonds that provide derealization of electrons.
- the conjugated molecular structure may include alkenyl, alkynyl and/or conjugated cyclic moieties.
- the presence of conjugated molecular structures attached to the triaryl amine compounds used in the present invention is critical to their usefulness in the context of the present invention. This may be understood with reference to the underlying mechanism by which the compounds are believed to function in the present invention. Absorption by the compound of a photon produces a singlet excited state.
- An analyte molecule may interact with the excited triaryl amine compound leading to oxidation of the excited state with the result that there is no luminescence. This effect is known as oxidative luminescence quenching.
- the conjugated molecular structure may be at least partially conjugated provided that the intended functionality in the context of the invention is preserved.
- triaryl amine compounds useful in the present invention have been found to exhibit selective luminescence quenching when exposed to explosives and explosives- related materials.
- the compounds may exhibit a qualitatively different fluorescent response in the presence of everyday chemicals.
- the analyte must have an electron affinity sufficient to separate the exciton that is formed on excitation of the triaryl amine compound. It is well known in the art how to modulate the optical and electronic properties of conjugated molecules and this can be applied to the optical and electronic properties of the triaryl amine compounds used in the current invention.
- the conjugated molecular structure may be polymeric in character in the sense that it includes repeat units within its structure. However, this is not essential and the conjugated molecular structure may be non-polymeric in character. In the latter case, the conjugated molecular structure may include linear and/or branched moieties. When branched, the conjugated molecular structure may be a dendritic structure. In the case of a dendrimer the triaryl amine moiety could be at the centre of the dendrimer, in the dendron or both. It will be appreciated that by its very structure the triaryl amine moiety provides branching in the structure of the overall compound.
- the triaryl amine moiety may be the only part of the molecule that provides branching or it may provide one of several branching points depending upon the architecture of the conjugated molecular structure. From this it will be understood that when the triaryl amine compound is a polymer, the triaryl amine moiety - could be part of the main chain, part of a side chain group, or both. It will also be appreciated that there could be more than one triaryl amine group in a material. For example, in a polymer the triaryl amine group could be present as part of a 'monomer unit 1 repeated along the polymer backbone. Also each DENDRON of a dendrimer could contain one or more triaryl amine groups.
- the conjugated molecular structure may comprise one or more aryl or heteroaryl groups that can be linked directly together or via one or more alkenyl or acetylenyl groups.

Typically, however, connection is via an aryl or heteroaryl moiety of the conjugated molecular structure.
- heteroaryl group this may be via a heteroatom.
- heteroaryl groups the hetero-atom may be N, O or S.
- the aryl groups are usually benzene rings, and these are typically substituted at position 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 to provide the remainder of the conjugated molecular structure.

- poly-aromatic ring structures is also possible.
- fused ring aryl and heteroaryl ring systems is also possible, including naphthalene, anthracene, carbazole, fluorene etc.
- aryl groups of the triaryl amine compound are linked by a conjugated molecular structure.
- a fundamental requirement however is that the number and combination of conjugated molecular structures present in the triaryl amine compound must be such that the singlet excited state of the compound can be oxidised by the analyte.

- a conventional device containing a fluorescent conjugated polymer was found to show a ⁇ l-2% decrease in fluorescence when exposed to a standard TNT source (not shown in Figure 2), which is included with the device for verifying correct operation.
- a standard TNT source not shown in Figure 2
- the majority were "detected" by a decrease in the fluorescence signal.
- the device was exposed to the various species one at a time. The conventional device cannot readily distinguish between explosives and everyday chemicals.
- the coated capillary was then exposed sequentially to vapours of a range of everyday chemicals and nitroaromatic compounds (see Figure 3). Vapour mixtures of species were not used. While exposure to nitroaromatic compounds results in a quenching of the fluorescence signal all the everyday chemicals give an increase in the fluorescence signal. In this way the sensing device shows selectivity.
- the channel of a glass capillary as above was coated with a triphenylamine centred thiophene containing dendrimer ( Figure 4) by blowing a solution of the material in toluene through the capillary with a flow of nitrogen gas.
- the coated capillary was then exposed sequentially to vapours of a range of everyday chemicals and nitroaromatic compounds.
- the dendrimer exhibits an increase in fluorescence signal when exposed to the vapours from a series of everyday chemicals and quenching when it is exposed to the nitroaromatics DNT and pNT.
- the modification of the structure, through the addition of dendrons has not altered the basic sensing properties.
- a bifluorene dendrimer which is known to be strongly quenched by nitroaromatic vapours, was tested inside a glass capillary (same as Example 1) (see Figure 5) to determine whether or not it featured the same selectivity observed in the triphenylamine- based compounds. The same testing procedure was followed as described for the compounds in Example 1 and 2.
- the fluorescence signal showed quenching responses with all of the everyday chemicals except naphthalene as well as the nitroaromatics.
- Toluene showed a combination of quenching/enhancement, which could be due to changes in the optical properties of the sensing film caused by swelling. This behaviour is similar to that of the original Comparative Example 1.
- triphenylamine centred fluorene dendrimer shown in Figure 6 was tested to determine whether the triphenyl amine thiophene combination was necessary for the observed selectivity. Fluorene only-based compounds, such as the one described in Example 2, do not exhibit selectivity. All tests were again performed as in Examples 1, 2, and Comparative Example 2 by coating the inside of the sensing element (glass capillary with the same dimensions as Example 1) with the sensing compound. The results show the same selectivity behaviour as observed with the other triphenylamine-based compounds: only the nitroaromatic compounds show quenching of the fluorescence with everyday chemicals resulting in an increase in the fluorescence signal. The mono-fluorene compound was also found to be more stable to photooxidation than the thiophene-containing compound.
- triphenylamine-based polymer shown in Figure 8 was tested to determine whether a triphenyl amine based polymer could be used to show the necessary selectivity. All tests were again performed in a similar manner to Example 1, 2, and Comparative Example 2 by coating the inside of the sensing element with the sensing compound. The results show the same selectivity behaviour as observed with the other triphenylamine-based compounds: only the nitroaromatic compounds show quenching of the fluorescence with everyday chemicals resulting in negligible change in the fluorescence signal. In this example there are two triphenyl amine groups per repeat unit in the polymer with them having a common phenyl group. Example 8
- the triphenylamine based compound from Example 6 was tested to determine whether a nitroaromatic compound (p-nitrotoluene) could be detected in the presence of other chemicals. All tests were again performed in a similar manner to Examples 1, 2, and Comparative Example 2 by coating the inside of the sensing element with the sensing compound. The results, displayed in Figure 9, show that the p-nitrotoluene is detected with the associated responses left to right corresponding to 1 to 18 with 18 being labelled as a reference point.
- DNT is 2,4-dinitrotoluene
- PNT is p-nitrotoluene
- DNB 1,4-dinitrobenzene
- (p) denotes samples that are perfumes.
- triphenylamine-based compound shown in Figure 10b was tested to further confirm that compounds incorporating triphenylamine exhibit selectivity. All tests were again performed as in Examples 1, 2, and Comparative Example 2 by coating the inside of the sensing element with the sensing compound.
- the results shown in Figure 10a across two plots show the same selectivity behaviour as observed with the other triphenylamine-based compounds: only the nitroaromatic compounds show quenching of the fluorescence with . everyday chemicals resulting in an increase in the fluorescence signal.
- the mixture was heated at 1 10 °C for 3 days with vigorous stirring before being cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL).
- the organic phase was separated and washed with water (3 x 50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous MgS0 4 , filtered and evaporated in vacuo.
- the residue was purified by chromatography using a Chromatotron apparatus over silica, eluting with dichloromethanerhexane (0:1 - 3: 17) to afford the product as a light yellow solid (30 rag, 20%).
- Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (82 mg, 0.071 mmol) was then added under Ar counterflow and the mixture sparged with Ar for a further 5 min before the mixture was then heated at 62 °C for 3 days with vigorous stirring. After this time the reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and water (50 mL). The organic phase was separated and washed with water (3 x 30 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous MgSC , filtered and evaporated in vacuo.
- the aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (10 * 50 mL), and the combined organic phases were washed with brine (2 ⁇ 100 mL), dried over anhydrous Na 2 S0 4 , filtered, and evaporated in vacuo.
- the residue was purified by column chromatography over silica using toluene: petrol ether (1 :3) as eluent to afford the product as a light white solid (610 mg, 69%).
- the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (4 x 50 mL) and dichloromethane (3 * 50, mL), and the combined organic phases were washed with brine (2 ⁇ 100 mL), dried over anhydrous Na 2 S0 4 , filtered, and evaporated in vacuo.
- the residue was purified by column chromatography over silica using toluene: petrol ether (1 :3) as eluent to afford the product as a light white solid (722 mg, 55%).
- triphenylamine-based compound shown in Figure 13 was tested to further confirm that compounds incorporating triphenylamine exhibit selectivity. All tests were again performed in a similar manner to Examples 1, 2, and Comparative Example 2 by coating the inside of the sensing element with the sensing compound. The results are consistent with the examples for the other triphenylamine-based compounds with the nitroaromatic DNT causing a decrease in the fluorescence signal and the ethanol a small increase.
