AcO− ion mediated color transition properties of an organic receptor in solvents of varying polarity highlighting the influence of dipole moment in stabilizing the excited state.
A new series of triangular steroid-based A(LS)3 type gelators has been developed which exhibited selective fluoride sensing abilities. The gelation, self-assembly and anion sensing properties of these gelators could be controlled by systematically altering their molecular structures.
New NiII monobenzoporphyrins and chlorins were synthesized. One compound was used as a chemodosimeter for naked-eye detection of cyanide in nonaqueous media giving a new π-extended porphyrin product with NIR absorptions and a 1.47 V HOMO–LUMO gap.
Cation Coordination Induced Modulation of the Anion Sensing Properties of a Ferrocene−Imidazophenanthroline Dyad: Mutichannel Recognition from Phosphate-Related to Chloride Anions
