Development of an effective method for the detection of picric acid (PA) in aqueous phase has attracted great attention. In this work, the luminescent probe Eu‐1 involving a hexadentate −2‐Amino‐3‐phenylpropanol based ligand L was successfully exploited for the selective detection of PA in presence of other nitro analytes in aqueous medium. The selective detection of PA and nitrite by Eu‐1 was rationalized through DFT computational study.
