Luminescent copper(I) complexes as vapochromic sensors for volatile organic compounds: integrating two distinct sensing mechanisms in a single platform

Key Points

• The aim is to develop copper(I) complexes that can sense VOCs using two different mechanisms on a single platform.
• Design of luminescent copper(I) complexes
• Integration of two distinct sensing mechanisms
• Evaluation of sensors for VOC detection
• Demonstrated effective sensing of VOCs using the new complexes
• Confirmed dual mechanism functionality in a single platform
• Showed significant changes in luminescence in response to VOC exposure
