Heavy metal pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems, and regulations
are becoming stricter. Many efforts have been made to develop sensors for monitoring …

Thiacalixarenes, a subclass of “third generation” calixarenes, exhibit many interesting
features such as enlarged ring size, facile chemical modification, and metal complexation …

In a study of the spectroscopic behavior of two Schiff base derivatives, salicylaldehyde
salicylhydrazone (1) and salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazone (2), Schiff base 1 has high …

Calixarenes, as nano-baskets, are considered an important group of macrocycles as the
third famous host molecules after cyclodextrins and crown ethers have been subject to …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are an attractive alternative to plasmonic gold nanoparticles.
The relative cheapness and redox stability determine the growing interest of researchers in …

Existence of silver ion in wide range of applications have led to a considerable increase of
its concentration in environment. As a consequence and due to probable environmental and …

The objective of this article is to introduce calixarene platforms in medical analysis for
recognition of biomolecular compounds and ionic species with emphasis on publications in …

A fluorescein derivative, sensor 1, was synthesized and characterized. It shows 50 nm
bathochromic shifts (from 346 to 400 nm) with a change of solution color and a large …

For the first time, stable pillar [5] arene/Ag+ nanoparticles, consisting of water-soluble pillar
[5] arene containing γ-sulfobetaine fragments and Ag+ ions without Ag–Ag bonds, were …

The π–A isotherms and UV–vis spectra of the transferred films suggested that the monolayer
of p-tert-butylthiacalix [4] arene can coordinate with Hg2+ at the air–water surface. From …
