Abstract
γ-butyrolactone (GBL), a substance commonly used in various industries, has gained notoriety as a drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) agent due to its rapid conversion to γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in human metabolism. The increasing illicit use of GBL has led to the development of assays for its rapid detection, thereby stimulating interest in optical sensors able to detect it. Herein we pre-sent a new fluorescent chemosensor that has been developed for the fast and reliable detection of GBL in saliva and soft drinks as well as alcoholic beverages.
