Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We report an effective approach for the identification of nitro explosives by the reaction of an electron-acceptor with an electron-donor with and without the addition of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD). A charge-transfer complex was prepared in acetonitrile by the reaction of the nitro explosive TNT as an electron acceptor with the donor N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p- phenylenediamine (TMPD). The complex TNT/TMPD converts gradually into TNṪ/TMPḊ in water with 5% acetonitrile by volume. The inclusion behavior of TNṪ/TMPḊ with γ-CD was studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. The effect of α- and β-CD with TNṪ/TMPḊ was also studied. Similar experiments were also carried out for RDẊ/ TMPḊ with γ-CD. The binding of TNṪ/ TMPḊ and RDẊ/TMPḊ with γ-CD were compared for the application of the complexes in a sensor array. Subsequently, the visible absorption spectra of nitro explosives as analytes, such as TNT, RDX, HMX and Tetryl with TMPD in the presence and absence of γ-CD, were measured with time. We worked with the same analytes with a second electron donor tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) using 96-well plate experiments. Pattern recognition analysis was applied to analyze the data collected and it showed successful discrimination of the nitro explosives. This work represents the simplest colorimetric chemical sensor technique to be used in monitoring the range of common nitro explosives. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
