A Colorimetric Sensor Array for the Detection of the Date‐Rape Drug γ‐Hydroxybutyric Acid (GHB): A Supramolecular Approach

γ‐Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), a colourless, odourless and tasteless chemical, has become one of the most dangerous illicit drugs of abuse today. At low doses, this drug is a central nervous system depressant that reduces anxiety and produces euphoria and relaxation, sedating the recipient. There is an urgent need for simple, easy‐to‐use sensors for GHB in solution. Here, we present a colorimetric sensor array based on supramolecular host–guest complexes of fluorescent dyes with organic capsules (cucurbiturils) for the detection of GHB.
