Reversible anion binding at lanthanide centres in aqueous media has emerged as an
effective means of signalling and sensing the presence of selected anions. The constitution …

This review focuses on MRI contrast agents that are responsive to a change in a
physiological biomarker. The response mechanisms are dependent on six physicochemical …

Pyrophosphate anions play key roles in various biological and chemical processes. During
the last few years, many exciting results have emerged regarding the development of …

In recent years, numerous in vivo molecular imaging probes have been developed. As a
consequence, much has been published on the design and synthesis of molecular imaging …

Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) is a key anion which plays a crucial role in an extensive
range of biological and ecological processes. PPi is involved in many physiological …

Tuning the content of copper is of great significance for the treatment of cancer and
neurodegenerative diseases. Herein, we synthesized a redox-responsive paclitaxel (PTX) …

Considering the fact that pyrophosphate-based hosts are in high demand for making highly
