TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Development of a fluorescent sensor for illicit date rape drug GHB JO - Chemical communications : Chem comm / the Royal Society of Chemistry A1 - Zhai, Duanting A1 - Tan, Yong Qiao Elton A1 - Xu, Wang A1 - Chang, Young-Tae SP - 2904 EP - 2906 VL - 50 IS - 22 N2 - The first fluorescent sensor (GHB Orange) for date rape drug GHB was developed. It exhibits the fluorescence quenching property for GHB and allows its detection in various drinks. The interaction mechanism was elucidated as intramolecular charge transfer induced by a hydrogen bond. This discovery will help in solving the drug facilitated sexual assault problems.
