The compound 1,2,4,5-tetraphenyl-1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole (DPPTP) exhibits aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AEE) and crystalline-induced emission enhancement (CEE) properties.
The DPPTP films show rapid response, excellent selectivity, and sensitivity to chloroform vapor.
The DPPTP solid films have good reversibility and also can be used as a quantitative analysis sensor for the detection of chloroform at as low as 100 ppm level.
