Abstract

Owing to their direct toxic effects on human beings, animals, and plants, chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and their mimics have become widespread in chemical warfare and agriculture. The considerable concerns about their entry into biological systems and the residues in environment stimulate the development of rapid and sensitive methods for the detection and analysis of this family of compounds. In the progress of sensitive, selective, and fast responsive detection, fluorescent molecular probes have been widely used in the detection of CWAs in recent years. Here the recent reports on the design of fluorescent molecular probes and their advantages in the detection of CWAs were reviewed. Furthermore, the extensive interests accelerate the development of novel fluorescent molecular probes and detection techniques in this field.
