The novel Na[Ir(ppy)2(SB-COO)] (Hppy = phenylpyridine; HSB-COOH = 4-carboxylanilinesalicylaldehyde Schiff base) in aqueous solution showed pH-responsive aggregation-induced enhanced phosphorescence (AIEP) by the formation of the protonated species [Ir(ppy)2(SB-COOH)].

Polystyrene-block-polyvinylpyridine (PS-b-P4VP) polypseudorotaxanes with cucurbit[7]urils (CB[7]) were prepared from water soluble PS-b-P4VPH+polymer and CB[7] in aqueous solution at room temperature. At acidic and neutral pH, the pyridinium block of PS-b-P4VP is protonated (PS-b-P4VPH+) pushing CB[7] to preferably host the P4VP block. At basic pH (pH 8), P4VP is not charged and thus is not able to strongly complex CB[7]. This phenomenon was verified further by monitoring the release of pyrene, a hydrophobic cargo model, from a PS-b-P4VPH+/CB[7] micellar membrane. Release study of UV active pyrene from the membrane at different pH values revealed that the system is only operational under basic conditions and that the host-guest interaction of CB[7] with P4VPH+significantly slows down cargo release.

The development of highly selective and sensitive chemosensors for Al3+ detection in pure aqueous solution is still a significant challenge. In this work, a novel water-soluble polymer PEGBAB based on salicylidene Schiff base has been designed and synthesized as a turn-on fluorescent chemosensor for the detection of Al3+ in 100% aqueous solution. PEGBAB exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity to Al3+ over other competitive metal ions with the detection limit as low as 4.05 × 10−9 M. PEGBAB displayed high selectivity to Al3+ in the pH range of 5–10. The fluorescence response of PEGBAB to Al3+ was reversible in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Based on the fluorescence response, an INHIBIT logic gate was constructed with Al3+ and EDTA as two inputs. Moreover, test strips based on PEGBAB were fabricated facilely for convenient on-site detection of Al3+.

Investigations of chiral host guest chemistry are important to explore recognition in confined environments. Here, by synthesizing water-soluble chiral porous nanocapsule based on the inorganic metal-oxo Keplerate-type cluster, {Mo<sub>132</sub>} with chiral lactate ligands with the composition [Mo<sub>132</sub>O<sub>372</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>72</sub>(<i>x-</i>Lactate)<sub>30</sub>]<sup>42-</sup> (<i>x</i> = D or L), it was possible to study the interaction with a chiral guest, L/D-carnitine and (<i>R</i>/<i>S</i>)-2-butanol in aqueous solution. The enantioselective recognition was studied by quantitative <sup>1</sup>H NMR and <sup>1</sup>H DOSY NMR which highlighted that the chiral recognition is regulated by two distinct sites. Differences in the association constants (K) of L- and D-carnitine, which, due to their charge, are generally restricted from entering the interior of the host, are observed, indicating that their recognition predominantly occurs at the surface pores of the structure. Conversely, a larger difference in association constants (K<i><sub>S</sub></i>/K<i><sub>R</sub></i> = 3) is observed for recognition within the capsule interior of (<i>R</i>)- and (<i>S</i>)-2-butanol.
