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 …

This review article focuses primarily on the work carried in our laboratories over the last few
years using luminescent and colorimetric sensors, where the anion recognition occurs …

This critical review covers advances in anion complexation chemistry related to receptors
based on organic frameworks in the years 2005–2006. The review covers anion receptors …

Acyclic molecules containing amides, ureas, and pyrrole groups have proven to be effective
and selective anion-binding agents. In this Account, the structural chemistry of …

Colorimetric and fluorescent probes have received a lot of attention for detecting lethal
analytes in realistic systems and in living things. Herein, a dual-approachable Benzo …

The synthesis and the spectroscopic studies of the amidourea based calix [4] arene sensors
1 and 2 are described. The 4-nitrophenyl based sensor 1 was synthesized in two steps from …

Spectrophotometric and 1H NMR titrations of N-methoxyethyl-N '-(4-nitrophenyl) thiourea (3)
by Bu4NOAc show that in DMSO deprotonation of the receptor and formation of a hydrogen …

It has been technically challenging to specify the detailed molecular interactions and binding
motif between drugs and polymeric inhibitors in the solid state. To further investigate drug …

The last two decades have witnessed some modified approach in designing supramolecular
anion receptors, not only for academic interests but also for their potential applications in …

A new anion sensor [Ru (bpy) 2 (H2biim)](PF6) 2 (1)(bpy= 2, 2 '-bipyridine and H2biim= 2, 2 '-
biimidazole) has been developed, in which the Ru (II)-bpy moiety acts as a chromophore …
