Abstract
Digital polymers (DPs), which serve as promising molecular-level storage media, have increasingly garnered interest. Their application significantly depends on the efficiency of the information writing (synthesis) and reading processes (sequencing). For reading, rational incorporation of weak bonds in the main chain was applied in most cases in order to improve readability of the tandem mass spectra (MS/MS), which would limit the chain length of DPs, thus reducing the information storage capacity. In this study, the introduction of commercially available crown ether (CE) at the terminus of digital oligo(γ-butyrolactone)s (DOBLs) significantly enhances the predictability and fidelity of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectra (MALDI-TOF MS/MS), thus improving the decoding process. The use of crown ether, leveraging a well-established supramolecular interaction with alkali cations known since 1967, offers a strong affinity between ionization agents and CE motifs, to form a selective effect of the desired fragments during the tandem MS. This method is particularly effective for long-chain DPs, extending up to 32-mer, and allows for customizable fragmentation patterns. The incorporation of CE at the DP chain end presents a novel and efficient strategy for enhancing MS/MS readability and amplifying the information storage capacity of polymers.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal sensing of specific cationic and anionic species is crucial for understanding the processes occurring in living systems. Herein, we developed new fluorescence sensors derived from tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines (TPyzPzs) with a recognition moiety that consists of an aza-crown and supporting substituents. Their sensitivity and selectivity were compared by fluorescence titration experiments with the properties of known TPyzPzs (with either one aza-crown moiety or two of these moieties in a tweezer arrangement). Method of standard addition was employed for analyte quantification in saliva. For K+ recognition, the new derivatives had comparable or larger association constants with larger fluorescence enhancement factors compared to that with one aza-crown. Their fluorescence quantum yields in the ON state were 18× higher than that of TPyzPzs with a tweezer arrangement. Importantly, the sensitivity toward cations was strongly dependent on counteranions and increased as follows: NO3- < Br- < CF3SO3- < ClO4- ≪ SCN-. This trend resembles the chaotropic ability expressed by the Hofmeister series. The high selectivity toward KSCN was explained by synergic association of both K+ and SCN- with TPyzPz sensors. The sensing of SCN- was further exploited in a proof of concept study to quantify SCN- levels in the saliva of a smoker and to demonstrate the sensing ability of TPyzPzs under in vitro conditions.
