A Rationally Designed Fluorescence Chemosensor for On-Site Monitoring of Carbon Monoxide in Air

A fluorescence chemsensor for carbon monoxide (CO), based on transformation of weakly fluorescent iodide to strong fluorescent amino product upon reacting with CO, shows abilities of quantitative measurement of CO in air at a level of 50-1000 ppm and real-time and on-site monitoring for CO flammation/explosion.
