Abstract
The fluorescence detection of ions and pharmaceutical effluents by using organic chemosensors is a valuable surrogate to the currently existing expensive analytical methods. In this regard, the design of multi-functional chemosensors to recognize desirable guests is of utmost importance. In this study, we first show that levofloxacin (LVO) is able to use as a fluorescent chemosensor for the detection of biologically important Cu2+ (turn-off) and Fe3+ (turn-on) ions via independent signal outputs in 100% aqueous buffer solutions. Next, using the reciprocal recognition of LVO and Fe3+ provides a unique emission pattern for the detection of LVO. This approach exhibited a high specificity to LVO among various pharmaceutical samples, namely acetaminophen (AC), azithromycin (AZ), gemifloxacin (GEM) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) and also showed great anti-interference property in urine. The attractive features of this sensing system are availability, easy-to-use, high sensitivity (limit of detection = 18 nM for Cu2+, 22 nM for Fe3+ and 0.12 nM for LVO), rapid response (5 s) with an excellent selectivity.

Abstract
Three novel acetalophanes 1a-c have been designed, synthesized and characterized. The receptors 1b-c, featuring bulky anthracene groups, displayed significant selectivity for Fe3+ ions, resulting in a turn-off fluorescence mode in a DMF-buffer solution. Conversely, the non-steric probe 1a could serve as a versatile sensor for the simultaneous detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions in MeOH-buffer solution. The sensing mechanism for the capability of 1a was demonstrated to be different, as evidenced by the addition of cyanide ions. The probes with Fe3+ exhibited a sensing mechanism that resulted in the deprotection of acetals to the corresponding starting materials, as confirmed by 1H NMR, IR spectra and TLC analysis. The attractive features of these practical and efficient sensors are selectivity, sensitivity (limit of detection = 0.15 µM by 1a, 0.16 µM by 1b and 0.14 µM by 1c), rapid response (less than 5 s). The on-site monitoring of various real samples, including well water, apricot, and green tea, proved to be successful for the quantitative and cost-effective detection of Fe3+. The method demonstrated good precision, even in the presence of other interfering materials.

Abstract
Three tweezer‑shaped salophenes having catechols (1), phenols (2) and anisoles (3) units in conjunction to the dipodal Schiff bases have been applied for the optical sensing of cyanide (CN¯) ions in CH3CN-H2O (7:3) as solvent of choice. Among them, compounds 1 and 2 recognized CN¯, relying on distinct color and spectral changes. They are easy-to-use probes that exhibit extremely high sensitivity (limit of detection = 1-10 nM), rapid response (5 s) and excellent selectivity. Moreover, the visual detection and concentration determination of CN¯ by solution test kits of both sensors are the advantages for the practical applications. Based on the fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy, as well as the OH¯ and reversibility experiments, the explicit effect of hydroxyl groups on sensing and as well the different recognition of 1 and 2 toward CN¯ ions was proved. While probe 1 senses CN¯ via deprotonation, probe 2 recognizes it through an intramolecular aldimine condensation cyclization, leading to formation of anions of dihydroxyquinoxaline 4. This chemodosimetry is being reported for the first time in a Schiff's base. Furthermore, the similarity of fluorescence and NMR responses of 2 and 4 toward CN¯ supports the proposed process.

Abstract
A novel chemosensor 1 based on a naphthol-bisthiazolopyridine hybrid was synthesized and characterized. Among the various screened cations and anions, chemosensor 1 selectively recognized Ag+ and CN- ions by relying on the color change and distinct absorption and emission changes. Moreover, the probe 1·Ag+ was well operable for the selective monitoring of S2-, HS- and H2S as evidenced by the different color and optical changes. The selective detection of all the anions was simply based on the breakage of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding of 1, followed by the protonation or deprotonation mechanism. In general, chemosensor 1 is a promising indicator in terms of its ease-of-use, selectivity, sensitivity, and rapid response (<1 s). Moreover, the visual detection and concentration determination of these analytes by solution or solid kits are the advantages for the practical applications of this sensor.

Abstract
The ‘self-activation’ of host molecules via the incorporation of a guest has received considerable attention in supramolecular catalysis. Here, we demonstrate how HgCl2 effects the tosylation rate of tolanophanes (1a–c: n=2−4) with different alkyl chain lengths. Among these substrates, 1a has the highest strain in sp carbons and, therefore, is active even without assistance of HgCl2. In contrast, 1c is inert and needs to be activated in the presence of HgCl2. Therefore, the averaged reaction rate is in the following order: 1c>1b>1a, confirming the role of the supramolecular cavity of 1 over the strain of alkyne bonds. Ab initio calculations are consistent with the experimentally derived reactivity, supporting our size-fitting hypothesis. In contrast, acyclic analogues showed lower activity in the presence of HgCl2 to confirm the effect of the ring cavity. To gain more information, the HgCl2 complexation of 1b was examined by using 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies. All products 5 are new and well characterized. The hydration of isomeric mixtures of 5b,c gave the corresponding single products 4b,c.
