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

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is already (Food and Drug Administration) FDA approved and
used in the clinic for oncological treatment of pancreatic, lung, esophagus, bile duct, and of …

We report the self-assembly of a series of highly charged supramolecular complexes in
aqueous media composed of cyclobis (4, 4′-(1, 4-phenylene) bispyridine-p-phenylene) …

We report a trichromophoric pseudorotaxane (3NPC) that demonstrates a two-step FRET-
based relay comprising of primary donor–primary acceptor/secondary donor–secondary …

The self-assembled systems of surfactants/polymers, which are capable of supporting
energy funneling between fluorophores, have recently gained significant attraction …

Reported is the preparation and photophysical investigation of the first molecular multi-FRET
system from the benzotrifuranone (BTF) scaffold. The step-conservative synthetic approach …

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

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 tri-fluorophoric molecular probe (1) with three different derivatized fluorophores, ie
anthracene (An), 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazole (NBD) and rhodamine-B (Rh) appended on …

Förster (fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET) is an excellent method in
generating characteristic fluorescence signals between two light sensitive molecules in the 1 …
