TL;DR: In the early 1960s, the discovery of crown ethers and spherands by Pedersen, Lehn, and Cram3 led to the realization that small, complementary molecules can be made to recognize each other through non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen-bonding, charge-charge, donor-acceptor, π-π, van der Waals, hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions to achieve these highly complex and often symmetrical architectures as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Highly luminescent micrometre-sized fine particles of a Zn(II) metal-organic framework (MOF) of a new π-electron rich tricarboxylate dispersed in ethanol is demonstrated as a selective sensory material for the detection of nitroaromatic explosives via a fluorescence quenching mechanism.

TL;DR: An overview of the recent developments made in small molecule-based turn-off fluorescent sensors for nitroaromatic explosives with special focus on organic and H-bonded supramolecular sensors is provided.

TL;DR: Two new anthracene-functionalized fluorescent tris-imidazolium salts have been synthesized, characterized, and proven to be selective sensors for picric acid, which is a common constituent of many powerful explosives.

TL;DR: In this article, several π-electron rich fluorescent aromatic compounds containing trimethylsilylethynyl functionality have been synthesized by employing Sonogashira coupling reaction and they were characterized fully by NMR (1H, 13C)/IR spectroscopy.
