Proton transfer involving site-specific hydrogen-bonding interactions is one of the most
fundamental and important reactions in chemistry and biology. Deliberately triggering this …

Developments in the field of fluorescent chemosensors for trace level determination of Al3+
have been described. Design, synthesis and applications of Al3+ selective fluorescent …

In this perspective we introduce the basic photophysics of the excited-state intramolecular
proton transfer (ESIPT) chromophores, then the state-of-the-art development of the ESIPT …

The success of fluorescence experiments requires attention to experimental details and an
understanding of the instrumentation. There are also many potential artifacts that can distort …

The corrosion inhibition efficiency of carbon steel was evaluated using fifteen molecules
derivated from imidazole and benzimidazole in 1.0 M HCl. The inhibition efficiency varies …

A series of new amino (NH)-type hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) compounds comprising 2-
(2′-aminophenyl) benzothiazole and its extensive derivatives were designed and …

Zinc and calcium are ubiquitous intracellular metals, and while a variety of quantitative
probes have been developed for measuring intracellular changes in calcium concentration …

Condensation of 2-(2 '-aminophenyl) benzoxazole with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and
phenyl isocyanate yields two new anion sensors (TABO and PUBO), which can undergo …

A new phosphorescent zinc sensor (ZIrF) was constructed, based on an Ir (III) complex
bearing two 2-(2, 4-difluorophenyl) pyridine (dfppy) cyclometalating ligands and a neutral 1 …
