Gasoline adulteration is a frequent problem world-wide, because of the chance of quick,
maximized profits. However, addition of cheaper ethanol or hydrocarbons like kerosene …

Detection of methanol in commercial biodiesel is essential to evaluate the fuel quality
associated with the matter of driving safety. Compared to the standard GC method, the …

Here we present simple fluorophores based on the pyridine core, obtained with
straightforward synthetic methodologies. These compounds present in solution absorption …

There is a critical need for a real-time, nonperturbative probe for monitoring the adulteration
of automotive gasoline. Running on adulterated fuel leads to a substantive increase in air …

Gasoline adulteration poses serious economic and environmental problems in many
countries. A “protective layer approach” has been developed for the colorimetric detection of …

We describe the preparation and characterization of a solvatochromic dye-doped polymer
for the detection of polar additives in hydrocarbon blends. This polymer is prepared by …

Determination of ethanol-gasoline blends is of practical importance, as a high content of
ethanol will significantly accelerate the corrosion of metallic materials in gasoline vehicle …

The highly toxic nature of volatile chlorinated solvents (VCSs) demands precise detection
and discrimination techniques to check the quality of air and groundwater. However, the …

A liquid-crystal (LC)-based sensor for detecting nitrite in aqueous solutions was developed
using a diazotization reaction as the sensing mechanism. First, tetradecyl 4-aminobenzoate …

Developing analytical methods to quantify ethanol extant in liqueurs and hydrocarbons is
crucial. Herein, we report the first example of a solvatofluorochromic molecular probe to …
