The invention belongs to the technical field of novel
fluorescent materials, and particularly discloses application of a mechanical color change pyrenyl derivative in
latent fingerprint fluorescence imaging and extraction. The mechanical color-changing pyrenyl derivative can be selectively combined with
fingerprint residual substances under the excitation of
ultraviolet light through the unique
fluorescence response characteristic, so that potential fingerprints form high-contrast
fluorescence imaging on smooth or rough surfaces (such as glass,
metal, plastic and the like), and the mechanical color-changing pyrenyl derivative is compatible with conventional camera equipment to realize
rapid acquisition. The compound design is based on a modular synthesis
route, and has the advantages of simple and convenient synthesis process, controllable
raw material cost, high reaction yield and the like. The product has excellent
thermal stability and
chemical stability, can be stored at normal temperature and does not need special treatment, and the practical application threshold is greatly reduced. Compared with a traditional
fingerprint developing technology, the method has remarkable breakthroughs in the aspects of sensitivity, substrate adaptability and operation convenience, and an efficient, economical and environment-friendly novel solution is provided for the fields of criminal investigation,
forensic identification and the like.
