Abstract
Solid-state emitters exhibiting mechano-fluorochromic or thermo-fluorochromic responses represent the foundation of smart tools for novel technological applications. Among fluorochromic (FC) materials, solid-state emissive coordination complexes offer a variety of fluorescence responses related to the dynamic of noncovalent metal-ligand coordination bonds. Relevant FC behaviour can result from the targeted choice of metal cation and ligands. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of two different colour emitters consisting of zinc complexes obtained from N,O bidentate ligands with different electron-withdrawing substituents. The two complexes are blue and orange solid-state fluorophores, respectively, highly responsive to thermal and mechanical stress. These emitters show a very different photoluminescent (PL) pattern as recorded before and after the annealing treatment. Through X-ray structural analysis combined with thermal analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, PL, and DFT simulation we provide a comprehensive analysis of the structural feature involved in the fluorochromic response. Notably, we were able to correlate the on-off thermo-fluorochromism of the complexes with the structural rearrangement at the zinc coordination core.

Multi-Oxyanion Detection by an Organic Field-Effect Transistor with Pattern Recognition Techniques and Its Application to Quantitative Phosphate Sensing in Human Blood Serum.

Abstract
We herein report an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) based chemical sensor for multi-oxyanion detection with pattern recognition techniques. The oxyanions ubiquitously play versatile roles in biological systems, and accessing the chemical information they provide would potentially facilitate fundamental research in diagnosis and pharmacology. In this regard, phosphates in human blood serum would be a promising indicator for early case detection of significant diseases. Thus, the development of an easy-to-use chemical sensor for qualitative and quantitative detection of oxyanions is required in real-world scenarios. To this end, an extended-gate-type OFET has been functionalized with a metal complex consisting of 2,2'-dipicolylamine and a copper(II) ion (CuII-dpa), allowing a compact chemical sensor for oxyanion detection. The OFET combined with a uniform CuII-dpa-based self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the extended-gate gold electrode shows a cross-reactive response, which suggests a discriminatory power for pattern recognition. Indeed, the qualitative detection of 13 oxyanions (i.e., hydrogen monophosphate, pyrophosphate, adenosine monophosphate, adenosine diphosphate, adenosine triphosphate, terephthalate, phthalate, isophthalate, malonate, oxalate, lactate, benzoate, and acetate) has been demonstrated by only using a single OFET-based sensor with linear discriminant analysis, which has shown 100% correct classification. The OFET has been further applied to the quantification of hydrogen monophosphate in human blood serum using a support vector machine (SVM). The multiple predictions of hydrogen monophosphate at 49 and 89 μM have been successfully realized with low errors, which indicates that the OFET-based sensor with pattern recognition techniques would be a practical sensing platform for medical assays. We believe that a combination of the OFET functionalized with the SAM-based recognition scaffold and powerful pattern recognition methods can achieve multi-analyte detection from just a single sensor.

Abstract
Acridino-diaza-20-crown-6 ether derivatives as new turn-on type fluorescent chemosensors with an excellent functionality and photophysical properties have been designed and synthesized for metal ion-selective optochemical sensing applications. Spectroscopic studies revealed that in an acetonitrile-based semi-aqueous medium, the sensor molecules exhibited a remarkable fluorescence enhancement with high sensitivity only toward Zn2+, Al3+ and Bi3+, among 23 different metal ions. Studies on complexation showed a great coordinating ability of logK > 4.7 with a 1:1 complex stoichiometry in each case. The detection limits were found to be from 59 nM to micromoles. The new ionophores enabled an optical response without being affected either by the pH in the range of 5.5-7.5, or the presence of various anions or competing metal ions. Varying the N-substituents of the new host-backbone provides diverse opportunities in both immobilization and practical applications without influencing the molecular recognition abilities.

Abstract
AbstractCrown ethers containing an acridone or an acridine unit are successfully applied opto- and electrochemical cation sensors. The heteroaromatic unit of these macrocycles can be in different forms during the applications, which have a strong influence on the sensing behavior. Moreover, in the case of acridono-macrocycles a prototropic equilibrium takes place upon complexation, which is effected by the physicochemical characteristics. A Pb2+-selective acridono-18-crown-6 ether and its 9-phenylacridino-analogue were used as model compounds for comparing the different forms of the heterocyclic units of these sensor molecules. Since in most practical sensor applications of the fluorescent hosts a non-neutral aqueous medium is present, studies on complexation and signaling were carried out from the aspect of the relationship among protonation, coordinating ability, complex stability and tautomeric equilibrium. A strong interdependence among these factors was found and limitations of using unsubstituted acridino- and acridono-sensor molecules in comparison with their 9-substituted-acridino-analogues were discussed. This study will hopefully serve as a useful standpoint for future development of ionophore-based sensors containing an acridone or an acridine unit.

Abstract
The synthesis and coordination properties of two fluorescent chemosensors, featuring [9]aneN3 (1,4,7-triazacyclononane; L1) and [12]aneNS3 (1-aza-4,7,10-trithiacyclododecane; L2) as receptor units, and a quinoline pendant arm with an amide group as a functional group spacer are described. The optical responses of L1 and L2 in the presence of several metal ions were analysed in MeCN/H2 O (1 : 4 v/v) solutions. A selective chelation enhancement of fluorescence (CHEF) effect was observed in the presence of Zn2+ in the case of L1, and in the presence of Cd2+ in the case of L2, following the formation of a 1 : 1 and a 1 : 2 metal/ligand complex, respectively, which was also confirmed by potentiometric measurements. 1 H and 13 C NMR measurements in CD3 CN/CDCl3 in combination with molecular mechanics calculations show that for both complexes of L1 and L2 with Zn2+ and Cd2+ , respectively, the coordination of the carbonyl group from the pendant arm could be the origin of the observed optical selectivity.
