Icosahedral boranes, carboranes, and metallacarboranes are extraordinarily robust
compounds with desirable properties such as thermal and redox stability, chemical …

Chromogenic sensors for anions generally consist of two parts: anion receptors and
chromophores. In this review, 6 types of chromogenic anion sensors are described, namely …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

The two-volume Encyclopedia of Supramolecular Chemistry offers authoritative, centralized
information on a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field. User-friendly and high-quality …

Polyhedral clusters containing boron, alone or in combination with other elements, have
been known for nearly a century, and intensive studies of their structures, bonding, and …

This paper describes ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) and optodes with a focus on the
fundamental mechanisms, response characteristics, and recognition elements (ionophores) …

This review provides an overview of the key aspects of designing ionophore-based optical
sensors (IBOS). Exact response functions are developed and compared with a simplified …

Macrocyclic Lewis acidic hosts with structures incorporating electron-withdrawing
icosahedral carboranes and electrophilic mercury centers bind a variety of electron-rich …

A highly selective, sensitive, and reversible fluoride optical sensing film based on aluminum
(III) octaethylporphyrin as a fluoride ionophore and a lipophilic pH indicator as the optical …

A general anion‐sensing platform is reported based on a portable and cost‐effective ion‐
selective optode and a smartphone detector equipped with a color analysis app. In contrast …
