Since as early as 1867, molecular sensors have been recognized as being intelligent
“devices” capable of addressing a variety of issues related to our environment and health …

The field of supramolecular chemistry has been flourishing since J.-M. Lehn, DJ Cram, and
CJ Pedersen were awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. By Prof. Lehn's definition, 1 …

Sensing of metal ions and anions is of great importance because of their widespread
distribution in environmental systems and biological processes. Colorimetric and fluorescent …

Macrocyclic structures are common synthetic targets in drug discovery,(1, 2) and therefore,
interest in their study is continuously increasing in this field.(3, 4) A classic example is …

Confusion is a novel concept of isomerism in porphyrin chemistry, delivering a steady
stream of new chemistry since the discovery of N-confused porphyrin, a porphyrin mutant, in …

Phosphate anions are one of the most important constituents of living systems. Together with
heterocyclic bases and sugars, phosphates make up DNA, the hereditary element of living …

This critical review covers advances in anion complexation chemistry related to receptors
based on organic frameworks in the years 2005–2006. The review covers anion receptors …

Fluoride anion recognition is attracting a mounting interest in the scientific community due to
its duplicitous nature. It is a useful chemical for many industrial applications, and it has been …

The world of modified porphyrins changed forever when an N-confused porphyrin (NCP), a
porphyrin isomer, was first published in 1994. The replacement of one inner nitrogen with a …

A new Cu (I) metal–organic framework,{[Cu (pytpy)]· NO3· CH3OH}∞(1), which is a 4-fold
interpenetrating 3D framework with (10, 3)-b topology, has been synthesized by self …
