Abstract
We report here on the development of a fluorescent cone homooxacalix[3]arene-based receptor with a pyrene unit on the wide rim of the macrocycle (Ox3F) for the selective detection of primary ammonium ions, including those of biological importance. Ox3F was synthesized efficiently via an innovative strategy that enables the regio- and iteroselective wide rim functionalization of the readily available p-tBu-substituted homooxacalix[3]arene precursor. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies and in silico methods highlighted the endo-complexation of primary ammonium ions, including the protonated form of biogenic dopamine, tryptamine, serotonin, mexamine, and 3-iodothyronamine. The binding mode is similar for all guests with the ion deeply inserted into the polyaromatic cavity, enabling the NH3+ head to establish three hydrogen bonds with the ethereal oxygens of the macrocycle. Fluorescence quenching of the pyrene unit was observed following the π-π interaction between the pyrene moiety and the aromatic groups of serotonin, mexamine, and 3-iodothyronamine. No quenching was observed upon complexation of the smaller aromatic neurotransmitter dopamine as well as aliphatic amines and polyamines. This study presents a novel approach for biologically relevant ammonium ion chemosensing with ongoing efforts focused on translating these systems for aqueous environment applications.

Abstract
In the biomimetic context, many studies have evidenced the importance of the 1st and 2nd coordination sphere of a metal ion for controlling its properties. Here, we propose to evaluate a yet poorly explored aspect, which is the nature of the cavity that surrounds the metal labile site. Three calix[6]arene-based aza-ligands are compared, that differ only by the nature of cavity walls, anisole, phenol or quinone (LOMe , LOH and LQ ). Monitoring ligand exchange of their ZnII complexes evidenced important differences in the metal ion relative affinities for nitriles, halides or carboxylates. It also showed a possible sharp kinetic control on both, metal ion binding and ligand exchange. Hence, this study supports the observations reported on biological systems, highlighting that the substitution of an amino-acid residue of the enzyme active site, at remote distance of the metal ion, can have strong impacts on metal ion lability, substrate/product exchange or selectivity.

Abstract
Calix[n]quinones, a class of cyclic oligomers composed of p-benzoquinone structures connected by methylene, have multi-conjugated carbonyl structures and adjustable cavities, which make their synthesis extremely attractive. In this minireview, synthetic methods of calix[n]quinones and recent synthetic experience of our group are summarized. The merits and demerits of various synthetic methods are briefly reviewed as well. When synthesizing calix[n]quinone (n≥6) with a larger ring, the reduction-oxidation method is considered to be the most recommended.

Chempluschem 2020; 84:1610-1622.

Abstract
Isoxazolo-pyrene tethered calix[4]arenes selectively detect copper(II) ions without interference from related perchlorate ions. The fluorescence emission of the probes, synthesised by nitrile oxide alkyne cycloaddition, and characterised by spectroscopic and crystallographic data, is rapidly reduced by Cu(II) ions. Detection limits are in the micromolar or sub-micromolar range (0.3-3.6 μM) based on a 1 : 1 sensor:analyte interaction. Voltammetric behaviour and 1 H NMR data provide new insights into the sensing mechanism which is dependent on the calixarene substitution pattern. When the calixarene lower rim is fully substituted, Cu(II) detection occurs through a traditional chelation mechanism. In contrast, for calixarenes 1,3-disubstituted on the lower rim, detection takes place through a chemodosimetric redox reaction. The isolation of a calix[4]diquinone from the reaction with excess Cu(ClO4 )2 provides confirmation that the sensor-analyte interaction culminates in irreversible sensor oxidation.
