A fluorometric/colorimetric dual-channel chemosensor based on a hydrazine-substituted BODIPY probe has been successfully fabricated for the detection of RDX and PA. The chemosensor displays turn-on fluorescence behavior upon RDX with a detection limit of 85.8 nM, while showing a turn-off response to PA with a detection limit of 0.44 μM. Meanwhile, an obvious color difference is observed by the naked-eye after the reaction for RDX. Thus, in application, a two-to-two logic gate is constructed for potential application in explosives detection. Additionally, portable equipment is also developed for in situ determination of RDX.
