After a brief introduction on the main transduction mechanisms for metal ion detection by
fluorescence, this paper reviews ligand molecules containing fluorophores synthesized and …

This feature article is a timely review of a portion of the authors' work concerning the
chemistry of dendrimers and subsequent related fluorescent probes. The design of …

A series of novel pseudo-cryptand-containing copolymers (PDStPEGmMA) with different
sizes were constructed by maleic anhydride (MAn)-assisted reversible addition …

Macrobicyclic cryptands incorporating amine groups along with oxygen donors that are
laterally non-symmetric constitute an important class of organic compounds. These …

The metal ion induced absorption and emission signaling pattern of rhodamine coupled bis-
(aminopropyl)-piperazine (1–3) and (aminoethyl)-piperazine (4) based probes evaluated in …

An acyclic amino-receptor based bi-fluorophoric signaling system 3 exhibits water-induced
simultaneous dual channel chromogenic and fluorogenic signal modulation. Its micromolar …

Since anions play an important role in a wide range of chemical and biological processes,
the development of anion selective receptors1 and chemosensors based on the …

Two laterally non-symmetric aza-oxa cryptands have been derivatized with the electron-
withdrawing fluorophore, 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazole to obtain the corresponding mono …

A new fluorescent NBD-polyaza-macrocycle sensor (L) was synthesized. The coordination
of Cu (II) and Zn (II) in acetonitrile switches on the fluorescence with different emission …

A highly luminescent tetrameric zinc (II) complex,{[Zn4 (adc) 3 (bpz) 6 (HCOO) 2]· 2H2O}(1;
adc= 9, 10-anthracenedicarboxylate and bpz= bipyridophenazine), was synthesized by a …
