A “three-components” supramolecular assembly has been fabricated by mixing 2, 2’: 6’, 2”-terpyridine attached pillar[5]arene, cyano and triazole bearing alkyl chain and Zn2+ in solvent of CHCl3 and CH3CN. The driving forces for the assembly were believed to be host-guest and metal chelating interactions as characterized by 1H NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. The supramolecular organo-gel formed upon the concentration of components amount to 1 M. The supramolecular displayed nitrobenzene based explosive sensing capability using picric acid, ortho-nitrobenzene and phenol as samples. The assembly was most sensitive towards picric acid among the three analytes. The limit of detection for picric acid was determined to be 1.66 × 10−4 M.
