Detection of chemical explosives with zinc (salicylaldimine) complexes: Mechanism and applications

The detection of chemical explosives is an important problem that poses unique challenges for chemists. Common explosives such as nitro-organics and peroxides lack chromophores, and differ greatly in chemical structures and properties. A family of Zn(salicylaldimine) (ZnL) complexes were prepared, a...
