Negative Result: Assessing tropolone and its derivatives as chemical fingermark developers on paper surfaces

Tropolone reacts with amino acids to form adducts that generate contrast on highly fluorescent paper surfaces upon UV irradiation. Furthermore, the conjugated seven-membered ring of tropolone enables secondary chemical treatments; demonstrated here using two diazonium salts, 4-methoxybenzenediazoniu...
