Abstract
Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in regulating communication between neurons within the brain and central nervous system. Thus, imaging neurotransmitters has become a high priority in neuroscience. This minireview focuses on recent advancements in the development of fluorescent small-molecule fluorescent probes for neurotransmitter imaging and applications of these probes in neuroscience. Innovative approaches for probe design are highlighted as well as attributes which are necessary for practical utility, with a view to inspiring new probe development capable of visualizing neurotransmitters.

Abstract
Supramolecular vessels emerged as tools to mimic and better understand compartmentalisation, a central aspect of living matter. However, many more applications that go beyond those initial goals have been documented in recent years, including new sensory systems, artificial transmembrane transporters, catalysis, and targeted drug or gene delivery. Peptides, carbohydrates, nucleobases, and steroids bear great potential as building blocks for the construction of supramolecular vessels, possessing complexity that is still difficult to attain with synthetic methods - they are rich in functional groups and well-defined stereogenic centers, ready for noncovalent interactions and further functions. One of the options to tame the functional and dynamic complexity of natural building blocks is to place them at spatially designed positions using synthetic scaffolds. In this review, we summarise the historical and recent advances in the construction of molecular-sized vessels by the strategy that couples synthetic predictability and durability of various scaffolds (cyclodextrins, porphyrins, crown ethers, calix[n]arenes, resorcin[n]arenes, pillar[n]arenes, cyclotriveratrylenes, coordination frameworks and multivalent high-symmetry molecules) with functionality originating from natural building blocks to obtain nanocontainers, cages, capsules, cavitands, carcerands or coordination cages by covalent chemistry, self-assembly, or dynamic covalent chemistry with the ultimate goal to apply them in sensing, transport, or catalysis.

Abstract
Organic cages are three-dimensional polycyclic compounds of great interest in the scientific community due to their unique features, which generally include simple synthesis based on the dynamic covalent chemistry strategies, structural tunability and high selectivity. In this feature article, we present the advances over the last ten years in the application of organic cages as chemosensors or components in chemosensing devices for the determination of analytes (pollutants, analytes of biological interest) in complex aqueous media including wine, fruit juice, urine. Details on the recent applications of organic cages as selective (back-)extractants or masking agents for potential applications in relevant separation processes, such as the plutonium and uranium recovery by extraction, are also provided. Over the last ten years, organic cages with permanent porosity in the liquid and solid states have been highly appreciated as porous materials able to discriminate molecules of different sizes. These features, combined with good solvent processability and film-forming tendency, have proved useful in the fabrication of membranes for gas separation, solvent nanofiltration and water remediation processes. An overview of the recent applications of organic cages in membrane separation technologies is given.

Abstract
A large number of cases showed that fentanyl (FEN) has become the main cause of death from illegal drug overdose owing to its potent effect on respiratory depression, which has emerged as a grave threat to public health and safety. However, traditional analytical methods require cost-prohibitive equipment, complex pretreatment procedures, and technically trained experts, thus highlighting the urgent need to develop a cost-effective, straightforward, and highly sensitive method to detect FEN. This work demonstrated a dual-readout sensor FGGC-AuNCs@Q7 for FEN detection, which is based on the molecular recognition and self-assembly between the macrocycle cucurbit[7]uril (Q7) and FEN, accompanying spontaneous visual Tyndall effect and fluorescence optical responses of the gold nanoclusters within seconds. A detection limit of 1 ng mL-1 and a linear range of 9 to 148 000 ng mL-1 were achieved for fluorescence detection on FEN, with favorable selectivity in the presence of other illicit drugs or common interferents. The proposed method has been proved by its satisfactory application for the analysis of human urine.

Abstract
Cage compounds offer unique binding pockets similar to enzyme-binding sites, which can be customized in terms of size, shape, and functional groups to point toward the cavity and many other parameters. Different synthetic strategies have been developed to create a toolkit of methods that allow preparing tailor-made organic cages for a number of distinct applications, such as gas separation, molecular recognition, molecular encapsulation, hosts for catalysis, etc. These examples show the versatility and high selectivity that can be achieved using cages, which is impossible by employing other molecular systems. This review explores the progress made in the field of fully organic molecular cages and containers by focusing on the properties of the cavity and their application to encapsulate guests.

Abstract
Two new hemicryptophanes combining a cyclotriveratrylene unit with either an aminotrisamide or a tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) moiety have been synthesized. Although a conventional synthesis approach was used, the molecular cages obtained are devoid of the expected C3 symmetry. NMR analyses and X-ray crystal structure determination showed that these hemicryptophanes exhibited C1 symmetry due to the unusual arrangement of the substituents of the cyclotriveratrylene unit. This unprecedented arrangement is related to a change in the regioselectivity of the Friedel-Crafts reactions that led to the CTV cap. This constitutes an original approach to access enantiopure chiral molecular cages with low symmetry.
