Porphyrins and related families of molecules are important organic modules as has been
reflected in the award of the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry in 1915, 1930, 1961, 1962, 1965 …

The application of layered solids for molecular recognition is summarized. By using layered
solids (silicates, aluminosilicates, titanates, hydroxides, and so on), ions and molecules can …

As they have been designed to undergo colorimetric changes that are dependent on the
polarity of solvents, the majority of conventional solvatochromic molecule based sensor …

We have been investigating complexes composed of nanolayered materials with anionic
charges such as clay nanosheets and dye molecules such as cationic porphyrins. It was …

Chromism induced by changes in the electronic states of dye molecules due to surface
adsorption is termed “adsorchromism” in this article. These changes of molecular electronic …

Nanoarchitecture of hybrids materials based on clay minerals as nano building blocks for
the environmental remediation is summarized with the emphasis on the utilization of layered …

In this work, a novel organic receptor, CPI [(E)-3-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl) phenyl)-2-(1H-benzo
[d] imidazol-2-yl) acrylonitrile], was rationally designed and successfully fabricated for …

There is a continuing need to develop high-performance sensors for monitoring organic
solvents, primarily due to the environmental impact of such compounds. In this regard …

Multiple (or multivalent) interaction is the key in many biological systems. One of the most
important (photo-) chemical reactions, photosynthesis, is driven by regularly aligned …

Cationic porphyrin was successfully intercalated into transparent clay membrane by
developing the new strategy for the sample preparation conditions. When water: ethanol= 1 …
