Sensing of metal ions and anions is of great importance because of their widespread
distribution in environmental systems and biological processes. Colorimetric and fluorescent …

Phosphate anions are one of the most important constituents of living systems. Together with
heterocyclic bases and sugars, phosphates make up DNA, the hereditary element of living …

According to one of Natures most fundamental laws, molecules may be differentiated by
having a positive, a negative, or no net charge at all. Although nothing may be known about …

This review traces the emergence of pyrrole-based receptors for anion recognition. It
outlines how serendipitous findings that the diprotonated form of sapphyrin, a pentapyrrolic …

Sapphyrin was the first expanded porphyrin to be reported in the literature and remains
among the most extensively studied. Much of the interest in this macrocycle reflects its ability …

This review covers the field of anion recognition from the perspective of tetrahedral oxyanion
recognition. The bulk of the attention is devoted to metal-free systems that are able to effect …

A new tris (ZnII− cyclen)(Zn3L3), which has three ZnII− macrocyclic tetraamine (cyclen)
complexes connected through a 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene spacer, has been synthesized as a …

Porphyrins and expanded porphyrins have attracted the attention of chemists for a long time
in view of their diverse applications in catalysis; as anion, cation, and neutral substrate …
