FLUORESCENT SENSORS FOR MARIJUANA BREATH TEST

Abstract

A fluorescent sensor compound for detecting marijuana can include an oligomer having a general structure of Y-[D]n-A-Z. In this structure, D is an electron donor group according to Formula (I), and A is an electron acceptor group according to Formula. (II). Additionally, Y is R3, R3-A, or R3-D-A; Z is R3 or [D]m-R3; n is an integer from 1 to 3; m is an integer from 1 to 2; R1 is an alkyl chain and R1 can optionally include different alkyl chains in different respective D groups; R3 is an alkoxyphenyl end group. A fluorescent sensor for detecting marijuana (100) can include the fluorescent sensor compound formed as a. film (110) and a. fluorescence detector (150) oriented to detect a fluorescence response from the fluorescent sensor compound.
