Synthetic macrocycles have served as principal tools for supramolecular chemistry, have
greatly extended the scope of organic charge transfer (CT) complexes, and have proved to …

An indicator displacement assay for colorimetric and fluorometric dual-mode detection of
urinary uric acid (UA) was constructed using a water-soluble naphthalene-based tetralactam …

Herein, host–guest complexation between pagoda [n] arenes (n= 4, P4; n= 5, P5) and
tropylium cation (G) was investigated in detail. It was found that both P4 and P5 showed …

Light-induced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is important in chemical and physical
processes involving organic reactions and materials. However, because of the fast light …

Highly selective binding of structurally similar substrates is common for biomolecular
recognition, but is often challenging to realize in synthetic hosts. Herein, we report highly …
