Abstract
Since the aggregation-based emission (AIE) phenomenon emerged in 2001, numerous chemical designs have been built around the AIE concept, displaying its utility for diverse applications, including optics, electronics, energy, and biosciences. The present review critically evaluates the broad applicability of AIEgen-based chemical models towards sensing small analytes and the structural design strategies adjusting the mode of action reported since the last decade. Various AIEgen models have been discussed, providing qualitative and quantitative estimation of cationic metal ions and anionic species, as well as biomolecular, cellular, and organelle-specific probes. A systematic overview of the reported structural design and the underlying working mode will pave the way for designing and developing the next generation of AIEgens for specific applications.

Abstract
This study investigated emissive urea compounds with an anthryl moiety on one side and a substituent group (biphenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, or cyclohexyl) on the other side across from the urea group. This was performed to determine the contribution of π-conjugation on a substituent group to excited-state intermolecular proton-transfer (ESPT) reactions in the presence of acetate anions. Fluorescence lifetime measurements revealed that the rate constant of the ESPT reaction from the normal form to the tautomer form increased with the length of the π-conjugation. Considering that there were a few differences among the wavelengths of the fluorescence maxima for the anthracene-urea derivatives in the presence of acetate anions, we observed that the extension of π-conjugation promoted tautomer formation. This maintained the energy levels of the normal and tautomer forms in the excited state. Furthermore, an anthracene-urea derivative without π-conjugation did not undergo a reverse ESPT reaction, implying that π-conjugation is considerably involved in the reverse ESPT reaction from the tautomer form to the normal form.

Abstract
We report an integrated ratiometric lysosomal nitric oxide (NO) nanoprobe based on engineered semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots), LyNO-Pdots, which consist of a newly designed NO-responsive dye, a fluorescent conjugated polymer and two functional polymers. The developed probe LyNO-Pdots exhibit high specificity and stability, good photostability and favorable blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration ability. The LyNO-Pdots are successfully applied to ratiometric imaging of lysosomal NO variations in brain-derived endothelial cells, brain tissues and mice brains with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results demonstrate that the NO content in the brains of AD mice is considerably higher than that in normal mice.

Abstract
Although transition metals constitute less than 0.1% of the total mass within a human body, they have a substantial impact on fundamental biological processes across all kingdoms of life. Indeed, these nutrients play crucial roles in the physiological functions of enzymes, with the redox properties of many of these metals being essential to their activity. At the same time, imbalances in transition metal pools can be detrimental to health. Modern analytical techniques are helping to illuminate the workings of metal homeostasis at a molecular and atomic level, their spatial localization in real time, and the implications of metal dysregulation in disease pathogenesis. Fluorescence microscopy has proven to be one of the most promising non-invasive methods for studying metal pools in biological samples. The accuracy and sensitivity of bioimaging experiments are predominantly determined by the fluorescent metal-responsive sensor, highlighting the importance of rational probe design for such measurements. This review covers activity- and binding-based fluorescent metal sensors that have been applied to cellular studies. We focus on the essential redox-active metals: iron, copper, manganese, cobalt, chromium, and nickel. We aim to encourage further targeted efforts in developing innovative approaches to understanding the biological chemistry of redox-active metals.

Abstract
Macrocyclic arenes show conformational adaptability, which allows host-guest complexations with the size-matched guest molecules. However, their emission properties are often poor in the solid states due to the self-absorption. Herein, we newly synthesized pillar[6]arene derivatives having alternate methylene and nitrogen bridging structures. Solvatochromic study reveals that the nitrogen-embedding into the cyclic structures can strengthen the intramolecular charge transfer (CT) nature compared to that of the linear nitrogen-bridged precursor. Owing to the large Stokes shift in the solid state, one of the nitrogen-embedded pillar[6]arenes shows high absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (ΦPL=0.36). Furthermore, it displays a turn-off sensing ability toward nitrobenzene (NB) vapor; a fluorescence quenching is observed when exposed to the NB vapor. From the structural analysis before and after the exposure of NB vapor, the amorphous nitrogen-embedded pillar[6]arene efficiently co-crystallize with NB and formed non-emissive intermolecular CT complexes with NB.

Abstract
A novel naphthalimide-substituted calix[4]triazacrown-5 (Nap-Calix) at cone conformation was designed and synthesized to employ as a fluorescent probe, which enables the simultaneously detection of Co2+ and Cd2+ metal ions as well as dopamine (DA). 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis techniques were carried out to characterize its structure. Cation binding property of Nap-Calix against various metal ions such as Ba2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ exhibited that the sensor selectively binds to Co2+ and Cd2+ metal ions with a remarkable affinity. Introduction of Co2+ and Cd2+ metal ions to a solution of Nap-Calix in DMF/water (1:1, v/v) resulted with a new emission band at 370 nm when excited at 283 nm. In addition, the fluorescence sensing affinity of the probe Nap-Calix against a catecholamine neurotransmitter (dopamine) was investigated in a wide range of concentration of DA (0-0.1 mmol L-1) in 50% DMF/PBS (pH = 5.0). The fluorescence intensity of Nap-Calix, with excitation/emission peaks at 283/327 nm, is highly enhanced by DA. It was also observed that Nap-Calix exhibits excellent fluorescence behavior towards DA with a very low detection limit as 0.21 µmol L-1.

Abstract
During recent decades, methylene-bridged macrocyclic arenes have been widely used in supramolecular chemistry. However, their π-conjugations are very weak, as the methylene bridges disrupt the electronic communication between π orbitals of the aromatic units. Herein, we successfully synthesized a series of silapillar[n]arenes (n = 4, 6, and 8) using silylene bridging. These showed enhanced electronic conjugation compared with the parent pillar[n]arenes because of σ*-π* conjugation between σ* (Si-C) orbitals and π* orbitals of the benzenes. Owing to the longer Si-C bond compared with the C-C bond, silylene-bridging provides additional structural flexibility into the pillar[n]arene scaffolds; a strained silapillar[4]arene was formed, which is unavailable in the parent pillar[n]arenes because of the steric requirements. Furthermore, silapillar[n]arenes displayed interesting size-dependent structural and optical properties.

Abstract
With the rapid development of fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs), such as CDs, QDs, and MOFs, the construction of FNP-based probes has played a key role in improving chemical sensors. Ratiometric fluorescent probes exhibit distinct advantages, such as resistance to environmental interference and achieving visualization. Thus, FNP-based dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent probes (DRFPs) have rapidly developed in the field of metal ion and small molecule detection in the past few years. In this review, firstly we introduce the fluorescence sensing mechanisms; then, we focus on the strategies for the fabrication of DRFPs, including hybrid FNPs, single FNPs with intrinsic dual emission and target-induced new emission, and DRFPs based on auxiliary nanoparticles. In the section on hybrid FNPs, methods to assemble two types of FNPs, such as chemical bonding, electrostatic interaction, core satellite or core-shell structures, coordination, and encapsulation, are introduced. In the section on single FNPs with intrinsic dual emission, methods for the design of dual-emission CDs, QDs, and MOFs are discussed. Regarding target-induced new emission, sensitization, coordination, hydrogen bonding, and chemical reaction induced new emissions are discussed. Furthermore, in the section on DRFPs based on auxiliary nanoparticles, auxiliary nanomaterials with the inner filter effect and enzyme mimicking activity are discussed. Finally, the existing challenges and an outlook on the future of DRFP are presented. We sincerely hope that this review will contribute to the quick understanding and exploration of DRFPs by researchers.

Abstract
Tetraamino-tetranitro-azacalixarene 5 is at the crossroad of two different families of compounds depending on the conditions and the agent used to reduce the NO2 groups: (1) azacalixphyrin 7 in neutral medium, or (2) phenazinium of type 8 in acidic medium. The key role of the N-substituted amino functions at the periphery is highlighted by investigating octaaminoazacalixarene as a model compound, and by using the corresponding tetrahydroxy-tetranitro-azacalixarene 15 as a precursor, which behaves differently.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) are two classes of opposite luminescence phenomena. It is almost impossible to show both AIE and ACQ effect simultaneously by the same molecule. However, here we report that a simple TPE derivative TAP-TPE grows into both AIE crystals and ACQ ones. It is found that equatorial, contact distance-longer and weak ArH-π interactions exist in AIE crystals while vertical, contact distance-shorter and strong ArH-π interactions appear in ACQ crystals. Theoretical calculation of electron density on the interaction atoms unveils that ACQ crystals have much larger change in electron density than AIE ones, suggesting that the intermolecular electron transfer aroused by the strong ArH-π hydrogen bonds leads to ACQ phenomenon. This result provides a new insight into the emission mechanism in aggregation state. Interestingly, due to the ArH-pi interactions difference, only one of five kinds of crystals shows rapid photochromism, and can act as multimode anti-counterfeiting materials. Very exceptionally, for the first time we find that the photochromic micrometric rod-like crystal even makes forward rolling movement as it repeatedly bends and straightens by responding to on and off of the ultraviolet light irradiation, displaying potential for photo-actuator and light-driven micro-vehicle.

Abstract
Calixarenes are "chalice like" phenol-based macrocycles that are one of the most fascinating studied scaffolds in supramolecular chemistry. Their preorganized nonpolar cavities and ion binding sites, and their well-defined conformations all lay important foundations for forming host-guest complexes. Conjugation of calixarene scaffolds with various fluorophores at either upper or lower rims has led to the development of smart fluorescent probes for inorganic molecules or ions, aliphatic or aromatic compounds, biomolecules, temperature and hypoxia, even multi-component traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Moreover, significant advancements have been made for biological applications. This review critically summarizes the recent advances made in these areas.

Abstract
Present work introduces an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active Schiff base 4,4'-((1E,1'E)-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diylbis(azaneylylidene))bis(methaneylylidene))bis(5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridin-3-ol) (BNPY). Schiff base BNPY was synthesized by reacting benzidine with pyridoxal. The non-fluorescent BNPY in freely soluble DMSO medium showed a significant fluorescence enhancement at 563 nm (λex = 400 nm) upon increasing the water fraction (fw) in DMSO above 60% due to the restriction of intramolecular rotation upon the aggregation of BNPY. The AIE active BNPY was employed for the detection of metal ions in DMSO:H2O (fw = 70%). Upon the addition of Fe3+, the fluorescence emission of BNPY at 563 nm was quenched due to the chelation-enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ). The Job's plot experiment supported the formation of a complex between BNPY and Fe3+ in 1:2 binding ratio. With an estimated detection limit of 5.6 × 10-7 M, BNPY was employed to detect and quantify Fe3+ ion in real water samples with satisfactory recovery percentages. Moreover, the pH studies of BNPY aggregates revealed three different fluorescence windows: non-fluorescent in acidic pH 2.02 to 3.16, yellow fluorescent between pH 3.60 to 9.33, and green fluorescent in basic pH 9.96 to 12.86.

Leko K, Usenik A, Cindro N, Modrušan M, Požar J, Horvat G, Stilinović V, Hrenar T, Tomišić V. Enhancing the Cation-Binding Ability of Fluorescent Calixarene Derivatives: Structural, Thermodynamic, and Computational Studies. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:43074-43087. [PMID: 38024729 PMCID: PMC10652827 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Novel fluorescent calix[4]arene derivatives L1 and L2 were synthesized by introducing phenanthridine moieties at the lower calixarene rim, whereby phenanthridine groups served as fluorescent probes and for cation coordination. To enhance the cation-binding ability of the ligands, besides phenanthridines, tertiary-amide or ester functionalities were also introduced in the cation-binding site. Complexation of the prepared compounds with alkali metal cations in acetonitrile (MeCN), methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was investigated at 25 °C experimentally (UV spectrophotometry, fluorimetry, microcalorimetry, and in the solid state by X-ray crystallography) and by means of computational techniques (classical molecular dynamics and DFT calculations). The thermodynamic parameters (equilibrium constants and derived standard reaction Gibbs energies, reaction enthalpies, and entropies) of the corresponding reactions were determined. The tertiary-amide-based compound L1 was found to have a much higher affinity toward cations compared to ester derivative L2, whereby the stabilities of the ML1+ and ML2+ complexes were quite solvent-dependent. The stability decreased in the solvent order: MeCN ≫ EtOH > MeOH > DMF > DMSO, which could be explained by taking into account the differences in the solvation of the ligands as well as free and complexed alkali metal cations in the solvents used. The obtained thermodynamic quantities were thoroughly discussed regarding the structural characteristics of the studied compounds, as well as the solvation abilities of the solvents examined. Molecular and crystal structures of acetonitrile and water solvates of L1 and its sodium complex were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results of computational studies provided additional insight into the L1 and L2 complexation properties and structures of the ligands and their cation complexes.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry is a multidisciplinary research area mostly associated with the investigation of host-guest interactions within intricate three-dimensional (3D) molecular architectures held together reversibly by various non-covalent interactions. Continuous efforts to develop such kinds of complex host-guest systems with designer oligopyrrolic macrocyclic receptors are a rapidly growing research domain, which is deeply involved in applied supramolecular chemistry research. These host-guest supramolecular complexes can be constructed by combining suitable electron-rich oligopyrrolic donors (as a host) with complementary electron-poor guests (as acceptors), held together by the ionic force of attraction triggered by intermolecular charge/electron transfer (CT/ET) transitions. Some of these resulting CT/ET ensembles are potential candidates for the construction of efficient optoelectronic materials, optical sensors, molecular switches, etc. In this Feature Article we aim to focus on these supramolecular ensembles composed by size and shape complementary electroactive oligopyrrolic molecular containers, which are suitable for spherical guest (e.g., buckminsterfullerene) complexation. We also provide a "state-of-the-art" overview on plausible applications of these particular host-guest systems. Our aim is to cover only specific electron-rich tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based oligopyrrolic receptors, e.g., TTF-calix[4]pyrroles, TTF-cryptands, TTF-porphyrins and exTTF-porphyrin-based molecular motifs reported to date, along with a brief outlining of their "functional behaviour" in materials chemistry research.

Abstract
Reported here is the efficient macrocyclization facilitated by skeleton preorganization. A pyridylcarbazole macrocycle and a phenylpyridylcarbazole macrocycle was synthesized in yield up to 75%. Single-crystal structures and theoretic computation uncovered that the skeleton preorganization promoted the formation of cyclization-favorable conformation of noncyclic precursors via π⋯π interactions. This result provided a new approach for the efficient syntheses of macrocycles.

Abstract
Studies on various macrocyclic arenes have received increasing attention due to their straightforward syntheses, convenient derivatization, and unique complexation properties. Represented by pillar[n]arenes, several distinctive macrocyclic arenes have recently emerged with the following characteristics: they possess a pair of enantiomeric planar chiral conformations, and interconversion between these enantiomeric conformations can be achieved through the flipping of ring units. Complexation of a chiral guest with these macrocyclic arenes will lead to a shift of the equilibrium between the Rp and Sp conformers, leading to intriguing possibilities for chiral induction and sensing. By the introduction of bulky substituents on the rims, employing rotaxanation or pseudocatenation, planar chirality could be locked, enabling the enantiomeric separation of the chiral structures. The induced or separated chiral conformers/compounds exhibit significant chiroptical properties. These macrocyclic arenes, with flipping-induced inversion of planar chirality, demonstrated intriguing chiral induction dynamics and kinetics. In this featured review, we systematically summarize the progress in chiroptical induction/regulation of these macrocyclic arenes, particularly in the fields of chiral sensing, molecular machines, molecular recognition, and assembly.

Abstract
A simple, efficient, and reversible fluorescent sensor probe, PBA (2,6-dimethyl pyrone barbituric acid conjugate), comprised of a pro-aromatic donor conjugated with a barbituric acid, was developed for the detection of highly toxic mercuric ions. The probe showed high selectivity and "Turn-On" fluorescence response towards Hg2+ among various metal cations such as Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ba2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+, in both homogeneous and microheterogeneous micelle medium sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The binding stoichiometry, limit of detection (LOD), and binding constant for the PBA-Hg complex were determined. The mechanism of binding was ascertained using the N,N'-dimethylbarbituric acid conjugate of 2,6-dimethylpyran (PDMBA), where no binding interaction by deprotonation is possible. In the presence of cysteamine hydrochloride and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), the complexation of Hg2+ with PBA was demonstrated to be reversible, indicating its potential for the development of reusable sensors. Moreover, the practical applicability of PBA in monitoring Hg2+ in living cells was also evaluated.

Abstract
Zinc is a vital metal element with extensive applications in various fields such as industry, metallurgy, agriculture, food, and healthcare. For living organisms, zinc ions are indispensable, and their deficiency can lead to physiological and metabolic abnormalities that cause multiple diseases. Hence, there is a significant need for selective recognition and effective detection of free zinc ions. As a probe method with high sensitivity, high selectivity, real-time monitoring, safety, harmlessness and ease of operation, fluorescent probes have been widely used in metal ion identification studies, and many convenient, low-cost and easy-to-operate fluorescent probes for Zn2+ detection have been developed. This article reviews the latest research advances in fluorescent chemosensors for Zn2+ detection from 2019 to 2023. In particular, sensors working through photo-induced electron transfer (PET), excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF), and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanisms are described. We discuss the use of various recognition mechanisms in detecting zinc ions through specific cases, some of which have been validated through theoretical calculations.

Abstract
A novel fluorogenic sensor N-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-methylene-4,5-dimethyl-benzene-1,2-diamine (BTMPD) was synthesized and characterized by using spectroscopic methods including UV-visible, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. The designed fluorescent probe, owing to its remarkable properties, behaves as an efficient turn-on sensor for the sensing of amino acid Serine (Ser). Also, the strength of the probe enhances upon the addition of Ser via charge transfer, and the renowned properties of the fluorophore were duly found. The sensor BTMPD shows incredible execution potential with respect to key performance indicators such as high selectivity, sensitivity, and low detection limit. The concentration change was linear ranging from 5 × 10-8 M to 3 × 10-7 M, which is an indication of the low detection limit of 1.74 ± 0.02 nM under optimal reaction conditions. Interestingly, the Ser addition leads to an increased intensity of the probe at λ = 393 nm which other co-existing species did not. The information about the arrangement and the features of the system and the HOMO-LUMO energy levels was found out theoretically using DFT calculations which is fairly in good agreement with the experimental cyclic voltammetry results. The fluorescence sensing using the synthesized compound BTMPD reveals the practical applicability and its application in real sample analysis.

Abstract
The formation of pseudocapsule type homo- and heteromultinuclear complexes of calix[6]-mono-crown-5 (H4L) encapsulating from 4 to 6 alkali metal ions is reported. H4L reacts with KOH to yield a hexanuclear potassium(I) complex [K6(HL)2(CH3OH)2]·CHCl3 (1) in which two bowl-shaped tripotassium(I) complex units are linked in a rim-to-rim fashion via the interligand C-H···π interactions. In the same reaction condition, RbOH afforded a tetranuclear rubidium(I) complex [Rb4(H2L)2(CH3OH)2(μ-H2O)2]·6CHCl3 (2). In 2, again two bowl-shaped dirubidium(I) complex units are held together by two bridging water molecules and C-H···π interactions that act as a glue to generate such an elegant pseudocapsule. Interestingly, a mixture of KOH and RbOH yielded a heterotetranuclear complex [K2Rb2(H2L)2(CH3OH)2(μ-H2O)2]·6CHCl3 (3). Similarly, two heterodinuclear bowl units [KRb(H2L)] in 3 are held together by two bridging water molecules and C-H···π interactions to form a heteromultinuclear pseudocapsule. In each heterodinuclear K+/Rb+ bowl unit of 3, Rb+ occupies the center of the crown loop while K+ locates inside the calix rim. Consequently, the proposed host discriminates not only on the types and numbers of the metal ions but also on their positional preferences in forming pseudocapsules. Solution studies by nuclear magnetic resonance and electrospray ionization-mass support the heterometallic (K+/Rb+) complexation by showing the superior binding affinity of Rb+ over K+ toward the crown loop. These results demonstrate how the metal-driven pseudocapsules are formed and present a new perspective on the metallosupramolecules of the calixcrown scaffold.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is an aggressive type of cancer affecting women worldwide. Many affected individuals rely on smear tests for the diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation for their treatment. However, due to a broad set of undesired results and side-effects associated with the existing protocols, the search for better diagnostic and therapeutic interventions is a never-ending pursuit. In the purview, the bio-concentration of trace elements (copper, selenium, zinc, iron, arsenic, manganese, and cadmium) is seen to fluctuate during the occurrence of cervical cancer and its progression from pre-cancerous to metastatic nature. Thus, during the occurrence of cervical cancer, the detection of trace elements and their supplementation will prove to be highly advantageous in developing diagnostic tools and therapeutics, respectively. This review provides a detailed overview of cervical cancer, its encouragement by human papillomavirus infections, the mechanism of pathology, and resistance. Majorly, the review emphasizes the less explored role of trace elements, their contribution to the growth and inhibition of cervical cancer. Numerous clinical trials have been listed, thereby providing a comprehensive reference to the exploration of trace elements in the management of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Herein we have discussed such important modified rhodamine compounds which have been used as chemosensors for the last 7-8 years. This review covered some chemosensors for the detection of metal ions like Al(III), Cu(II), Hg(II), Co(II), Fe(III), Au(III), Cr(III), and some anion like CN-. The selectivity, sensitivity, photophysical properties (i.e., UV-Vis spectral studies, fluorescence studies giving special emphasis to absorption wavelength in UV-Vis spectra and excitation and emission wavelength in fluorescence spectra), binding affinity, the limit of detection, and the application of those chemosensors are described clearly. Here we have also discussed some functionalized rhodamine-based chemosensors that emit in the near-infrared region (NIR) and can target lysosomes and detect lysosomal pH. Their versatile applicability in the medicinal ground is also delineated. We have focused on the photophysical properties of spirolactam rhodamine photoswitches and applications in single-molecule localization microscopy and volumetric 3D light photoactivable dye displays. The real-time detection of radical intermediates has also been exemplified.

Lower alcohols (C1-C7) have a close relationship with our lives and some of them are harmful to our body's health. For example, liquor mixed with a tiny amount of methanol is harmful to our health. Much of this study is about identifying one or two low-level alcohols. How to detect low-level alcohol and high-throughput and distinguish between analogues of alcohol remains a tremendous challenge. In this study, a new large ring Schiff base Sm(III) complex (Sm-2r) is synthesized with a double emission matrix using the template method. Its dynamic imine bond (CN) and organic ligands (H2L2r) with molecular rotor properties can respond to changes in viscosity and polarity in external environments. The PCA method is used to turn the data matrix into a fingerprint spectrum to distinguish different alcohols (C1-C7). Sm-2r enables the quantization of cyclopropyl and glycerol. Linear ranges of cyclopropanol and glycerol are 0-9.0% and 0-3.0% (v/v), respectively. In addition, Sm-2r has an excellent ability to distinguish the mixtures of n-PrOH and i-PrOH, C5H9OH and C6H11OH, n-PeOH and n-HeOH, 1,3-PDO and 1,2-PDO, MeOH and EtOH, 1,2-EG and 1,2-PDO at different volume ratios. We have provided a way to distinguish alcohol species based on their molecular polarity and viscosity.

Abstract
Paraquat (PQ) and diquat (DQ), some of the most widely used herbicides in the world, both present a high mortality index after intentional exposure. In this paper, a fluorescence sensing method for PQ and DQ, based on host-guest molecular recognition, is proposed. Calix[6]arene derivatives containing anthracene or naphthalene as pendant fluorophore at their lower rim recognize DQ and PQ in hydroalcoholic solution with a broad linear response range at the μg L-1 level concentration. The linear response ranges were found from 1.0 to 18 μg L-1 with the detection limit of 31 ng L-1 for paraquat, and from 1.0 to 44 μg L-1 with the detection limit of 0.16 μg L-1 for diquat. The recognition process is detected by following the decrease in the fluorescence emission consequent to complexation. The proposed quenching method has been applied to the determination of paraquat in drinking water samples.

Aryl- and Superaryl-Extended Calix[4]pyrroles: From Syntheses to Potential Applications. Top Curr Chem (Cham) 2023; 381:7.

Abstract
The incorporation of aryl substituents at the meso-positions of calix[4]pyrrole (C4P) scaffolds produces aryl-extended (AE) and super-aryl-extended (SAE) calix[4]pyrroles. The cone conformation of the all-α isomers of "multi-wall" AE-C4Ps and SAE-C4Ps displays deep aromatic clefts or cavities. In particular, "four-wall" receptors feature an aromatic polar cavity closed at one end with four convergent pyrrole rings and fully open at the opposite end. This makes AE- and SAE-C4P scaffolds effective receptors for the molecular recognition of negatively charged ions and neutral guest molecules with donor-acceptor and hydrogen bonding motifs. In addition, adequately functionalized all-α isomers of multi wall AE- and SAE-C4P scaffolds self-assemble into uni-molecular and supra-molecular aggregates displaying capsular and cage-like structures. The self-assembly process requires the presence of template ions or molecules that lock the C4P cone conformation and complementing the inner polar functions and volumes of their cavities. We envisioned performing an in-depth revision of AE- and SAE-C4P scaffolds owing to their importance in different domains such as supramolecular chemistry, biology, material sciences and pharmaceutical chemistry. Herewith, besides the synthetic details on the elaboration of their structures, we also draw attention to their diverse applications. The organization of this review is mainly based on the number of "walls" present in the AE-C4P derivatives and their structural modifications. The sections are further divided based on the C4P functions and applications. The authors are convinced that this review will be of interest to researchers working in the general area of supramolecular chemistry as well as those involved in the study of the binding properties and applications of C4P derivatives.

Abstract
An imidazole possessing sensor (1) has been designed and developed by simple one step reaction and characterization was done by using common spectroscopic methods. The fluorimetric sensing of nerve agent mimic, DCP, was carried out by observing blue shift in spectra accompanied with quenching in semi-aqueous solvent. The sensor was found proficient for the detection of DCP amongst other phosphates with detection limit of 69 nM. Furthermore, upon incorporation of various metal ions to CH3CN:H2O (4:1, v/v) solution of 1 (λex 340 nm), the fluorescent probe turned non-fluorescent only in presence of Cu2+/Hg2+ ions. This was accompanied by fluorescent color change from light blue to yellow in case of Hg2+ and colorless in case of Cu2+ ions. Moreover, practical applications of sensor 1 were investigated for recognition of Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions in real water samples along with the detection of DCP in soil samples from different areas. Differential emission changes observed with addition of Hg2+ ions and DCP led to observation of "NOR" and an "INHIBIT" molecular photonic logic operations at 446 and 385 nm, respectively.

Abstract
Nanosensors work on the "Nano" scale. "Nano" is a unit of measurement around 10- 9 m. A nanosensor is a device capable of carrying data and information about the behavior and characteristics of particles at the nanoscale level to the macroscopic level. Nanosensors can be used to detect chemical or mechanical information such as the presence of chemical species and nanoparticles or monitor physical parameters such as temperature on the nanoscale. Nanosensors are emerging as promising tools for applications in agriculture. They offer an enormous upgrade in selectivity, speed, and sensitivity compared to traditional chemical and biological methods. Nanosensors can be used for the determination of microbe and contaminants. With the advancement of science in the world and the advent of electronic equipment and the great changes that have taken place in recent decades, the need to build more accurate, smaller and more capable sensors was felt. Today, high-sensitivity sensors are used that are sensitive to small amounts of gas, heat, or radiation. Increasing the sensitivity, efficiency and accuracy of these sensors requires the discovery of new materials and tools. Nano sensors are nanometer-sized sensors that, due to their small size and nanometer size, have such high accuracy and responsiveness that they react even to the presence of several atoms of a gas. Nano sensors are inherently smaller and more sensitive than other sensors.

Abstract
Fluorescent derivatives attract the attention of researchers for their use as sensors, photocatalysts and for the creation of functional materials. In order to create amphiphilic fluorescent derivatives of calixarenes, a fluorescein derivative containing oligoethylene glycol and propargyl groups was obtained. The resulting fluorescein derivative was introduced into three different (thia)calix[4]arene azide derivatives. For all synthesized compounds, the luminescence quantum yields have been established in different solvents. Using UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, as well as transmission and confocal microscopy, aggregation of macrocycles was studied. It was evaluated that calixarene derivatives with alkyl substituents form spherical aggregates, while symmetrical tetrafluorescein-containing thiacalix[4]arene forms extended worm-like aggregates. The macrocycle containing tetradecyl fragments was found to be the most efficient in photoredox ipso-oxidation of phenylboronic acid. In addition, it was shown that in a number of different electron donors (NEt3, DABCO and iPr2EtN), the photoredox ipso-oxidation proceeds best with triethylamine. It has been shown that a low molecular weight surfactant Triton-X100 can also improve the photocatalytic abilities of an oligoethylene glycol fluorescein derivative, thus showing the importance of a combination of micellar and photoredox catalysis.

Abstract
Liquid crystals are considered to be the fourth state of matter with an intermediate order and fluidity in comparison to solids and liquids. Calixarenes are among one of the most versatile families of building blocks for supramolecular chemistry due to their unique vaselike structure that can be chemically engineered to have different shapes and sizes. During the last few decades, calixarenes have drawn much attention in the field of supramolecular chemistry due to their diverse applications in the fields of ion and molecular recognition, ion-selective electrodes for catalysis, drug delivery, gelation, organic electronics and sensors, etc. Imbuing liquid crystallinity to the calixarene framework leads to functionalized calixarene derivatives with fluidity and order. Columnar self-assembly of such derivatives in particular enhance the charge migration along the column due to the 1D stacking due to the enhanced π-π overlap. Considering limited reports and reviews on this new class of calixarene based liquid crystals, a comprehensive account of the synthesis of calixarene liquid crystals along with their mesomorphic behavior and potential applications are presented in this review.

Abstract
The article presents the synthesis and properties of two new Schiff bases of resorcinarene derivatives. The Schiff bases were obtained by the reaction of formylresorcinarene with aromatic (o-aminophenol) and aliphatic (N,N-dimethyldiaminoethane) amines in chloroform. The synthesized Schiff bases exist in equilibrium of several tautomers, as evident from the IR, UV, NMR spectra and cyclic voltammetry data analysis. In DMF, methanol, and acetonitrile, the tautomeric equilibrium is shifted toward the enol-imine tautomers.

Abstract
Two rhodamine and azo based chemosensors (HL1 = (3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-(phenyldiazenyl)benzylidene)amino)-2',7'-dimethylspiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one) and HL2 = (3',6'-bis(ethylamino)-2-(((2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-(p-tolyldiazenyl)benzylidene)amino)-2',7'-dimethylspiro[isoindoline-1,9'-xanthen]-3-one) have been synthesized for colorimetric and fluorometric detection of three trivalent metal ions, Al3+, Cr3+ and Fe3+. The chemosensors have been thoroughly characterized by different spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography. They are non-fluorescent due to the presence of a spirolactam ring. The trivalent metal ions initiate an opening of the spirolactam ring when excited at 490 nm in Britton-Robinson buffer solution (H2O/MeOH 1 : 9 v/v; pH 7.4). The opening of the spirolactam ring increases conjugation within the probe, which is supported by an intense fluorescent pinkish-yellow colouration and an enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of the chemosensors by ∼400 times in the presence of Al3+ and Cr3+ ions and by ∼100 times in the presence of Fe3+ ions. Such a type of enormous fluorescence enhancement is rarely observed in other chemosensors for the detection of trivalent metal ions. A 2 : 1 binding stoichiometry of the probes with the respective ions has been confirmed by Job's plot analysis. Elucidation of the crystal structures of the Al3+ bound chemosensors (1 and 4) also justifies the 2 : 1 binding stoichiometry and the presence of an open spirolactam ring within the chemosensor framework. The limit of detection (LOD) values for both the chemosensors towards the respective metal ions are in the order of ∼10-9 M which supports their application in the biological field. The biocompatibility of the ligands has been studied with the help of the MTT assay. The results show that no significant toxicity was observed up to 100 μM of chemosensor concentration. The capability of our synthesized chemosensors to detect intracellular Al3+, Cr3+ and Fe3+ ions in the cervical cancer cell line HeLa was evaluated with the aid of fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Although hydrosulfide and cyanide anions play important roles in daily life that they are available in a lot of foods. However, their excess amounts contaminate water, land, and food and cause serious problems to human health. Herein, we introduce a water-soluble macrocyclic sensor based-on Calix[4]arene (MPI-Calix[4]) with dual response sites for fluorescence recognizing cyanide (CN-) and hydrogen sulfide (HS-) under longwave light. MPI-Calix[4] exhibits a high selectivity and sensitivity in the detection of CN- and HS-, where the limits of detection were as low as 0.115 and 8.12 μmol/L, respectively. The cell imaging studies shows that this probe can be easily used in the detection of CN- and HS- on living cells. Full understanding of these results paved a fruitful system to improve an applicable analytical process for food safety and quality.

Abstract
The excited-state proton transfer processes and the formation mechanism of quinone methide of (1-naphthyl)phenol were investigated by combining static electronic structure calculations and non-adiabatic dynamics simulations in vacuum. The results indicated the existence of two minimum energy structures (S0-ENOL-1 and S0-ENOL-2) in the ground and excited states, which correspond to two ESIPT pathways. Upon excitation of S0-ENOL-1 to the bright S1 state, the system relaxes to the S1 minimum quickly in the enol region, for which two decay pathways have been described. The first is a barrierless ESIPT-1 process that generates keto species. Afterwards, the system encounters a keto conical intersection, which funnels the system to the ground state. The generated keto species, in the S0 state, either regenerated the starting material via ground-state proton transfer or yielded the keto product at the end of the simulations. In the other pathway, the system de-excites from the S1 state to the S0 state via one enol-type conical intersection. The dynamics simulations showed that 58.8% of trajectories experience keto-type conical intersection and the rest undergo enol-type conical intersection. Besides the ESIPT-1 process, a new-type ESIPT (ESIPT-2), which was not observed experimentally, was found with the irradiation of S0-ENOL-2. The ESIPT-2 process occurs after overcoming a small barrier (0.9 kcal mol-1) and yields a distinct quinone methide. Our simulation results also showed that the S1 lifetime of S0-ENOL-1 (S0-ENOL-2) would be 437 (617) fs in the gas phase. These results provide detailed and important mechanistic insights into the systems in which ESPT to carbon atoms occurs.

Abstract
A novel dual-functional peptide probe FLH based on fluorescent "on-off-on" strategy and colorimetric visualization method was designed and synthesized. This new probe exhibited highly selective and rapid detection of Cu2+ with significant fluorescent "turn-off" response, with a visible colorimetric change from yellow to orange. The combination ratio of FLH to Cu2+ (1:1) was determined using ESI-HRMS spectra and Job's plot. The fluorescent emission showed a good linear response (R2 = 0.9986) with a low detection limit of 1.5 nM. In addition, the FLH-Cu2+ complex displayed colorimetric changes and a fluorescent "off-on" response toward CN- over a wide pH range from 7 to 12. This detection behavior was observed within 20 s, with a limit of detection (LOD) for CN- at 12.7 nM. Based on stability and accuracy, FLH was next developed as dual-functional test strips, and was also successfully applied to detect Cu2+ and CN- in two actual water samples. More importantly, the cytotoxicity studies indicated that FLH had good biocompatibility and low toxicity, and was successfully utilized for monitoring Cu2+ and CN- in living cells through fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
A simple uracil-appended fluorescent sensor (1) has been developed by one pot reaction and characterized by using common spectroscopic methods such as UV-vis, Fluorescence, HRMS and FT-IR analyses. Upon addition of various metal ions to the CH3CN solution of sensor 1, the fluorescence was quenched in the presence of Cu2+ / Hg2+ ions. The limit of detection for Cu2+ and Hg2+ was calculated to be 3.31 and 0.316 µM, respectively. Further, the sensor was applied for real-life applications in the determination of Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and its presence in milk products. With the incorporation of different sources of vitamin-B to acetonitrile solution of it, there was discernible fluorescence enhancement only in the presence of vitamin B2. Also, it has been successfully applied for the detection of Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in milk and curd. Moreover, based on the fluorescent color changes, the sensor was utilized for invisible ink applications.

Abstract
A styryl bridge containing a triphenylamine-thioimidazole hydrazine-based dual-analyte-responsive fluorescent sensor was designed and synthesized for the detection of the nerve gas simulant diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) and hypochlorite (OCl-) for the first time. Hypochlorite induces oxidative intramolecular cyclization to give a triazole structure, which exhibited blue fluorescence with excellent selectivity and a low detection limit (8.05 × 10-7 M) in solution. Conversely, the probe forms a phosphorylated intermediate with diethyl chlorophosphate, which undergoes further hydrolyzation and presents green fluorescence in a ratiometric mode with a low detection limit (3.56 × 10-8 M). Additionally, the as-designed sensor was utilized to construct a portable kit for real-time monitoring of DCP in a discriminatory, simple and safe manner. Lastly, the probe was also productively employed for in situ imaging of OCl- and DCP in the living cell.

Abstract
Constructing multicolor photoluminescent materials with tunable properties is an attractive research objective on account of their abundant applications in materials science and biomedical engineering. By comparison with covalent synthesis, supramolecular chemistry has provided a more competitive and promising strategy for the production of organic materials and the regulation of their photophysical properties. By taking advantage of dynamic and reversible noncovalent bonding interactions, supramolecular strategies can, not only simplify the design and fabrication of organic materials, but can also endow them with dynamic reversibility and stimuli responsiveness, making it much easier to adjust the superstructures and properties of the materials. Occasionally, it is possible to introduce emergent properties into these materials, which are absent in their precursor compounds, broadening their potential applications. In an attempt to highlight the state-of-the-art noncovalent strategies available for the construction of smart luminescent materials, an overview of color-tunable materials is presented in this Review, with the emphasis being placed on the examples drawn from host-guest complexes, supramolecular assemblies and crystalline materials. The noncovalent synthesis of room-temperature phosphorescent materials and the modulation of their luminescent properties are also described. Finally, future directions and scientific challenges in the emergent field of color-tunable supramolecular emissive materials are discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescent receptors (4a-4c) based on (thio)ureido-functionalized hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arenes were synthesised and obtained in the partial cone conformation in solution. Naphthyl or pyrenyl fluorogenic units were introduced at the lower rim of the calixarene skeleton via a butyl spacer. The binding of biologically and environmentally relevant anions was studied with NMR, UV-vis absorption, and fluorescence titrations. Fluorescence of the pyrenyl receptor 4c displays both monomer and excimer fluorescence. The thermodynamics of complexation was determined in acetonitrile and was entropy-driven. Computational studies were also performed to bring further insight into the binding process. The data showed that association constants increase with the anion basicity, and AcO-, BzO- and F- were the best bound anions for all receptors. Pyrenylurea 4c is a slightly better receptor than naphthylurea 4a, and both are more efficient than naphthyl thiourea 4b. In addition, ureas 4a and 4c were also tested as ditopic receptors in the recognition of alkylammonium salts.

Abstract
Stimulus-responsive fluorescent probes have broad applications in the early detection and treatment of tumors and thus promote the personalized treatment of tumors and improve patient survival. Among the repertoires of probes, dual-locked near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes are of great significance due to their improved specificity and multiplex detection in tumor imaging but remain to be explored. In this work, a facile noncovalent strategy for constructing dual-locked probes was proposed. A glutathione (GSH)-activatable single-locked probe CySS (first lock) was preloaded into a hypoxia-responsive molecular container CF3C4A (second lock) through a host-guest interaction to form the dual-locked probe CF3C4A-CySS. Under physiological conditions, CF3C4A-CySS binds strongly to avoid undesired leakage in normal tissues. We have proven that CF3C4A-CySS can be activated and "turn on" its NIR fluorescent signal under the dual key stimulation of hypoxia and GSH in the tumor microenvironment, which enables precise tumor imaging with enhanced accuracy and specificity. Both in vitro and in vivo results indicated the superiority of CF3C4A-CySS in tumor imaging. This work not only provides an effective tool for tumor imaging but also proposes a promising strategy for dual-locked imaging agent construction.
