Sigma–hole interactions, in particular halogen bonding (XB) and chalcogen bonding (ChB),
have become indispensable tools in supramolecular chemistry, with wide-ranging …

The emergent arena of bio-nanotechnology aims at modernizing the detection and
bioimaging discipline via the introduction of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based …

Determination of plant stresses such as infections by plant pathogens is currently dependent
on time-consuming and complicated analytical technologies. Here, we report a leaf …

Two decades ago, halogen bonding attracted considerable attention as a new type of non-
covalent interaction and has now emerged as an important supramolecular tool for crystal …

Leveraging specific noncovalent interactions can broaden the mechanims for selective
electrochemical separations beyond solely electrostatic interactions. Here, we explore redox …

This review paper covers the forensic-relevant literature for the analysis and detection of
explosives and explosives residues from 2016-2019 as a part of the 19 th Interpol …

Anion sensing via either optical or electrochemical readouts has separately received
enormous attention, however, a judicious combination of the advantages of both modalities …

We report a chemiresistive cyclohexanone sensor on a flexible substrate based on single-
walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with thiourea (TU) derivatives. A …

A pillar [5] arene host, functionalised with halogen bonding (XB) recognition sites and
BODIPY fluorophores, demonstrates strong binding and optical sensing of environmentally …

Halogen bonding (XB) is a highly directional, non-covalent intermolecular interaction
between a molecule (XB donor) presenting a halogen with an electron-deficient region or …
