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
Over the last two decades, the design and development of fluorescent chemosensors for the targeted detection of Heavy Transition-metal (HTM) ions, anions, and biological analytes, have drawn much interest. Since the introduction of click chemistry in 2001, triazole moieties have become an increasingly prominent theme in chemosensors. Triazoles generated via click reactions are crucial for sensing various ions and biological analytes. Recently, the number of studies in the field of pyrene appendant triazole moieties has risen dramatically, with more sophisticated and reliable triazole-containing chemosensors for various analytes of interest described. This tutorial review provides a general overview of pyrene appendant-triazole-based chemosensors that can detect a variety of metal cations, anions, and neutral analytes by using modular click-derived triazoles.

Abstract
This review covers recent advances (from 2006 to date) in supramolecular systems based on fluorescent homooxacalixarenes, namely hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arenes, dihomooxacalix[4]arenes and tetrahomodioxacalix[4]arenes, focusing on fluorescence sensing using their intrinsic fluorescence (built-in mesitol-like groups) or the extrinsic fluorescence of organic fluorophores, either covalently linked to the calixarenes or forming supramolecular complexes with them. Sensing applications of ions, ion pairs and neutral molecules are discussed, as well as the potential measurement of temperature based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence.

Abstract
The binding behaviour of two ureido-hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene derivatives bearing naphthyl (1) and pyrenyl (2) fluorogenic units at the lower rim towards selected nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) was evaluated. Their affinity, or lack of it, was determined by UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy. Different computational methods were also used to further investigate any possible complexation between the calixarenes and the NACs. All the results show no significant interaction between calixarenes 1 and 2 and the NACs in either dichloromethane or acetonitrile solutions. Moreover, the fluorescence quenching observed is only apparent and merely results from the absorption of the NACs at the excitation wavelength (inner filter effect). This evidence is in stark contrast with reports in the literature for similar calixarenes. A naphthyl urea dihomooxacalix[4]arene (3) is also subject to the inner filter effect and is shown to form a stable complex with trinitrophenol; however, the equilibrium association constant is greatly overestimated if no correction is applied (9400 M-1 vs 3000 M-1), again stressing the importance of taking into account the inner filter effect in these systems.

Abstract
In this era, explosives are easily available compared to the early days. Thus, more effective detection of explosives has become the main concern of homeland security. In the past decades, a large number of sensing materials have been developed for the detection of explosives in solid, vapor, and solution states through fluorescence methods. In recent years, great efforts have been devoted to developing new fluorescent materials with various sensing mechanisms for detecting explosives in order to achieve super-sensitivity, ultra-selectivity, as well as fast response time. Modified calixarenes have high potentials to detect nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) due to their favorable structural properties. It summarizes the detection of NACs by the modified calixarene system formed by the complex. Various methodologies responsible for complex formation and binding mechanisms (PET, FRET, EE, etc.) are the centerpiece of this review. Finally, conclusions and future outlook are presented and discussed.

Abstract
A fluorescent naphthalimide conjugate of calix[4]arene (L1 ) has been synthesized and characterized. The selective and efficient detection of trinitrophenol (TNP) by L1 among nine other different nitroaromatic compounds was demonstrated using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The minimum detection limit is 29 nM, which is the lowest reported so far by any conjugate of calixarene toward TNP. The fluorescence quenching is associated with a high Stern-Volmer constant of 3.3 ± 0.4 × 105 M-1. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data revealed a network structure with pores having a weighted average size of 0.66 ± 0.08 μm for L1 . When incubated with TNP, the pores were filled with fibril structures, as supported by both SEM and TEM data. In order to demonstrate the real time applications, the L1 has been coated onto a Whatman filter paper and the imprint of TNP contaminated thumb has been detected upon physical contact. The 1HNMR titration and the studies carried out using the control molecule support the necessity of both the naphthalimide moiety and the calixarene platform for sensing. In order to mend L1 as a reversible sensor for TNP, the same is incorporated into carrageenan beads (L1 @Cb ) and the reversible sensing has been shown for three cycles by reusing the same material upon recovery followed by washing it. The solid-state detection of TNP has also been demonstrated using the lyophilized L1 @Cb bead powder. The fluorescence intensity of L1 was quenched upon addition of solid TNP to the lyophilized bead powder of L1 @Cb as studied by fluorescence microscopy. The computational studies show that one of the arms of the calixarene takes a bent conformation, and the 1:1 TNP complex of L1 is stabilized by exhibiting differential extents of hydrogen bonding interactions with the two arms owing to their conformational difference. The result of such complexation was already felt through the shifts observed in the experimentally measured 1HNMR spectra.

Abstract
The chem-sensors, based on the triazole-CH2-anthracene-functionalized multifarene[2,2] were successfully synthesized, which could efficiently and rapidly detect 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). The high specificities of the proposed macrocyclic sensors were achieved by selective response for TNP in the existence of other competing phenolic compounds, and the limits of detection in ∼10-8 mol/L range were produced to confirm the high sensitivities of the chem-sensors, which could be attributed to the mechanism of electron and resonance energy transfer processes in the complexes with the supramolecular interactions. 1H NMR titration analysis revealed the actual binding position should be the triazole rings of sensors with the hydroxyl group on TNP to offer a hydrogen bonding. The extraordinary sensing properties endued the compounds as sensitive fluorometric chem-sensors for the potential application of TNP detection.

Abstract
A calix[4]arene conjugate possessing a tetrapyrenyl moiety at its upper rim (R) is designed as a receptor for sensing trinitrophenol (TNP). To understand the role of the calix[4]arene platform and that of pyrenyl moieties in R, two other control molecules were synthesized. These are as follows: the one possessing a tetraphenyl moiety in place of tetrapyrenyl (R 1 ) and the other one is a p-pyrenyl-hydroxy benzene (R 2 ) that is devoid of the calix[4]arene platform. The R shows high sensitivity toward TNP in tetrahydrofuran (THF) over eleven other nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) studied by exhibiting large fluorescence enhancement and hence is selective to TNP over the other NACs studied. However, the control molecules R 1 and R 2 showed only marginal fluorescence enhancement, supporting the need of a calixarene platform and the presence of a tetrapyrenyl moiety in the receptor system for the selective sensing of TNP. Further, R 1 and R 2 are not suitable for sensing, since these exhibit similar fluorescence response over several NACs studied. The binding of TNP by R has been addressed by fluorescence titration and isothermal titration calorimetry. The nature of the complexation of TNP by R has been revealed by the computational calculations, wherein the data showed the entrapment of TNP by two adjacent pyrene moieties via π-π stacking interactions. Such host-guest complexation is expected to restrict the mobility of the pyrene moieties present in R. The reduction of the flexibility of the pyrenyl moieties of R upon TNP binding is evidenced by the 1H NMR spectral study, wherein this acts as an additional evidence for the complexation. In the present study, the sensing of TNP by R has been shown in THF solution, on the surface of silica gel and the cellulose paper to result in lowest detection limits (LODs) of 1.5, 3.5, and 6.5 μM, respectively. Even the solid mixture of R and TNP showed LOD of 2.1 μmol. Since R is expected to show supramolecular aggregation that is dependent on the guest species, the corresponding details were probed by microscopy techniques, using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy methods, and significant changes in the aggregation of R upon interaction with TNP were found. Such aggregation is responsible for the observed fluorescence enhancement. Thus, the tetrapyrenyl calix[4]arene conjugate (R) acts as a sensitive and robust platform for selective detection of TNP from a mixture of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) wherein the fluorescence intensities can be imaged and managed by a cellular phone.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) systems are a powerful tool widely used to detect organic molecules or metal ions because of their simplicity and high sensitivity. The sandwich structure NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+@NaYF4@NH2 UCNPs, as a highly selective and sensitive aqueous probe for detecting nitroaromatics, has been designed and prepared by a cothermolysis method and modified with polyetherimide to acquire amine groups on the surface of the core/shell UCNPs. The detection principle of nitroaromatics is based on LRET, which forms the Meisnheimer complex between the electron-deficient cyclobenzene of nitroaromatics and the electron-rich amino group on the surface of the sandwich structure UCNPs. As a consequence, nitroaromatics can be brought into close proximity to the sandwich structure UCNPs. With the increase of nitroaromatics (2,4,6-trinitrophenol and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) concentrations, the sandwich structure NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+@NaYF4@NH2 UCNPs display a dramatic luminescent quenching effect at 407 nm and 540 nm under 980 nm excitation. The luminescent quenching intensity of the sandwich structure UCNPs is linearly correlated to the concentration of the nitroaromatics. The detection limit of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) are 0.78 and 0.77 ng ml-1, respectively. Therefore, the sandwich structure of NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+@NaYF4@NH2 UCNPs can act as a valuable probe to detect nitroaromatics in public safety and security conditions.

For TNP chemosensor 2-(4,5-Bis(4-Chlorophenyl)-1H-Imidazol-2-yl)-4-Chlorolphenol (HPICI), previous thought with no theoretical basis was that excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process and the ground-state HPICI-TNP complex are mainly responsible for its fluorescence emission and the detection of TNP. However, this interpretation has been proved to be wrong by the present theoretical DFT/TDDFT explorations. Actually, the strong fluorescence of HPICI is mainly induced by the local excitation of the enol form HPICI(E) without ESIPT, and the fluorescence quenching by TNP is due to the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process together with the cooperative effect of hydrogen-bonding interaction and π-π stacking interaction coexisting in the HPICI-TNP complex. The strengthened excited-state hydrogen bond promotes the PET process, thus facilitates the fluorescence quenching. This mechanism is proposed on the basis of the theoretical analyses on molecule geometry, binding energy, Gibbs free energy, electronic transitions, and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs).

Abstract
Picric acid (PA) as an environmental pollutant and high explosive, has recently received considerable attention. In this paper, a novel fluorescent and colorimetric chemo-probe (L) for the highly selective and sensitive detection of picric acid has been revealed. The probe was facilely constructed using rhodamine B, ethylenediamine and 4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzoyl chloride. Significant fluorescence changes based on an intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect followed by a distinct color change from colorless to pink were observed after addition of picric acid to the probe solution. Selectivity measurements revealed that the as-synthesized probe exhibited high selectivity toward PA in the presence or absence of other analytes. The experimental titration results suggested that the as-synthesized probe is an effective tool for detection of PA with a nanomolar scale detection limit (820 nM) and could also serve as a “naked-eye” indicator for PA detection. A FRET-based fluorescent and colorimetric chemo-sensor has been designed and synthesized for the selective and sensitive detection of picric acid.![]()

Abstract
A new three-dimensional metal–organic framework (MOF) sensor with molecular formula (C2H6NH2)2[Tb2(ptptc)2(DMF)(H2O)]·DMF·6H2O (complex 1) has been constructed from terphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid (H4ptptc) and terbium nitrate under solvothermal conditions. The structure of complex 1 was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and the purity was further confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis. XRD analysis reveals that complex 1 crystallizes in a triclinic system P1̄ space group and consists of a three-dimensional anionic network which has one-dimensional channels. Fluorescence titration experiments showed that complex 1 displayed real-time, highly selective and sensitive fluorescence quenching behavior towards picric acid with a nanomolar scale experimental detection limit (100 nM). Recycling titration experiments suggested that the as-synthesized probe has good reversibility and can be used for at least five cycles in fluorescence titration experiments without obvious fluorescence intensity reduction or framework structure destruction. Furthermore, the high selectivity and sensitivity as well as good recyclability of complex 1 make it a potential fluorescent sensor for picric acid. A new three-dimensional reusable Tb-MOF fluorescent sensor for the highly selective and sensitive detection of picric acid was reported.![]()

Abstract
In this study, infrequent orange carbon nanodots (CNDs) were applied as a dual-readout probe for the effective colorimetric and fluorescent detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). The orange fluorescence could be rapidly and selectively quenched by TNP, and the colorimetric response from the original pink color to blue could also be captured immediately by the naked eye. A limit of detection of 0.127 μM for TNP was estimated by the fluorescent method and 5 × 10−5 M by visualized detection. Interestingly, the fluorescence of the CNDs with TNP gradually transitioned from orange to green upon irradiation by a UV lamp, and the colorimetric response transitioned from pink to blue to colorless, which ensured effective multi-response detection of TNP. In addition, the CNDs exhibited bright fluorescence, excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity, making them high-quality fluorescent probes for cellular imaging. We have described a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-readout probe with a strong and sensitive response towards TNP.![]()

Abstract
The regioselective synthesis of mono-O-alkylated homooxacalix[3]arene is accomplished for the first time. The synthetic route relies on two key steps: (i) a facile protection of two OH groups at the lower rim of the homooxacalix[3]arene and (ii) the deprotection of 9-anthrylmethyl groups via the Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation under atmospheric hydrogen. An efficient protection-deprotection strategy for the functionalization of homooxacalix[3]arene is presented.
