Calix [n] arenes (n= 4, 5, 6, 8) are “chalicelike” phenol-based macrocycles that are among
the most fascinating and highly studied scaffolds in supramolecular chemistry. This stems …

Coordination chemistry plays an essential role in the design of photoluminescent probes for
metal ions. Metal coordination to organic dyes induces distinct optical responses which …

The development of functional 1, 8-naphthalimide derivatives as DNA targeting, anticancer
and cellular imaging agents is a fast growing area and has resulted in several such …

This critical review focuses on the development of anion sensors, being either fluorescent
and/or colorimetric, based on the use of the 1, 8-naphthalimide structure; a highly versatile …

After a brief introduction on the main transduction mechanisms for metal ion detection by
fluorescence, this paper reviews ligand molecules containing fluorophores synthesized and …

The brain is a singular organ of unique biological complexity that serves as the command
center for cognitive and motor function. As such, this specialized system also possesses a …

A novel coumarin-based fluorogenic probe bearing the 2-picolyl unit (1) was developed as a
fluorescent chemosensor with high selectivity and suitable affinity in biological systems …

A pincer-like benzene-bridged sensor 1 with a pyrene excimer as a signal source and
imidazolium as a phosphate anion receptor was synthesized and investigated for ATP …

A selective sensor 1 for the fluorescent imaging of Cd2+ in living cells has been designed
and synthesized based on an internal charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. It can distinguish …

Oxidative stress is a common feature shared by many diseases, including
neurodegenerative diseases. Factors that contribute to cellular oxidative stress include …
