Abstract
Crown ethers (CEs), known for their exceptional host-guest complexation, offer potential as linkers in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for enhanced performance in catalysis and host-guest binding. However, their highly flexible conformation and low symmetry limit the diversity of CE-derived COFs. Here, we introduce a novel C3-symmetrical azacrown ether (ACE) building block, tris(pyrido)[18]crown-6 (TPy18C6), for COF fabrication (ACE-COF-1 and ACE-COF-2) via reticular synthesis. This approach enables precise integration of CEs into COFs, enhancing Ni2+ ion immobilization while maintaining crystallinity. The resulting Ni2+-doped COFs (Ni@ACE-COF-1 and Ni@ACE-COF-2) exhibit high discharge capacity (up to 1.27 mAh ⋅ cm-2 at 8 mA ⋅ cm-2) and exceptional cycling stability (>1000 cycles) as cathode materials in aqueous alkaline nickel-zinc batteries. This study serves as an exemplar of the seamless integration of macrocyclic chemistry and reticular chemistry, laying the groundwork for extending the macrocyclic-synthon driven strategy to a diverse array of COF building blocks, ultimately yielding advanced materials tailored for specific applications.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers are typical self-assemblies, in which repeating monomer units are bonded together with dynamic and reversible noncovalent interactions. Supramolecular polymers can combine the advantages of polymer science and supramolecular chemistry. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) means that a molecule remains faintly emissive in the dispersed state but intensively luminescent in a highly aggregated state. AIE has brought new opportunities and further development potential to the field of polymeric chemistry. The integration of AIE luminogens with supramolecular interactions can provide new vitality for supramolecular polymers. Therefore, it is essential for scientists to understand the preparation and applications of AIE-active supramolecular polymers. This review focuses on the recent advanced progress in the preparation of AIE-active supramolecular polymers. In addition, we summarize the newly developed supramolecular polymers with an AIE nature and their applications in chemical sensing, and in vitro and in vivo imaging, as well as the visualization of their structure and properties. Finally, the development trends and challenges of AIE-active supramolecular polymers are prospected.

PVC membrane bulk optode incorporating 4-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 and sodium tetrakis(1-imidazolyl) borate for the pico-molar determination of silver ion in pharmaceutical formulation. Sci Rep 2024; 14:19984. [PMID: 39198688 PMCID: PMC11358330 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-70967-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Silver ion (Ag+) is of harmful effects to both environment and human health. Ag+ soluble compounds and salts is used in treating mental illness, epilepsy, nicotine addiction, gastroenteritis, and infectious diseases, including syphilis and gonorrhea, and as anti-infective dermatological agent for controlling nose bleeding. However, high Ag+ doses cause several harmful effects to human health such as irreversible pigmentation of skin and eye, and problems to liver and kidney. A bulk membrane Optode is proposed in this work to measure the Ag+ concentration in the pharmaceutical formulations. The membrane optode is prepared from the ionophore 4-nitobenzo-15-crown-5, the ion-exchanger sodium tetrakis (imidazolyl) borate, the plasticizer o-nitrophenyl octyl ether, and the chromoionophore ETH 5294; these components are dissolved in the PVC/THF slurry to form the membrane. The optode is studied by atomic force microscope and UV-visible spectrophotometer, and its spectrum exhibits two maximum wavelengths of 550 and 665 nm, and response for Ag+ at these maximum wavelengths is reproducible in the concentration range of 10-11 to 10-8 M using acetate buffer of pH 5.0, with very low detection limit of 8.8 × 10-12 M. The most important feature in this work is the selectivity improvement for Ag+ over all interfering ions; the selectivity coefficient logarithmlogK A g + , c a t i o n opt is found to be - 4.3 for Cu2+, - 5.6 for Ni2+ and - 5.0 for Cd2+. The response mechanism is studied by FTIR, and it depends on ion-exchange of Ag+ and sodium imidazolyl borate, followed by the host-guest complexation between Ag+ and the crown ionophore, which is accompanied by concomitant deprotonation of the chromoionphore. The optode has a response time of 2-3 min within lifetime of 10 days with the same response. The optode can be applied successfully for Ag+ determination in the pharmaceutical formulation, PinkEye Relief® eye drop, which is used for treating inflammation, redness and water discharge of the eye; the high recovery and low standard deviation of the results using calibration curve method confirm the accuracy and precision of the proposed optode for its application in real samples.

Abstract
The efficient utilization of the metallic Zn in rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (RAZBs) struggle to suffer from parasitic Zn dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution reactions as well as severe interfacial degradation at high areal capacity loadings. This study thus proposes to employ the modified crown ether as an aqueous electrolyte additive to regulate the Zn2+ desolvation kinetic and facilitates the horizontally oriented (002) deposition of Zn, extending the lifespan of both the symmetric cell and full cell models. Specifically, zincophilic cyano and hydrophobic selenium atoms are incorporated into the crown ether supramolecule to enhance Zn2+ coordination and desolvation capability. The addition of 4-cyanobenzo-21-crown-7-selenium at a low concentration of 0.5 wt.% effectively mitigates hydrogen evolution and Zn corrosion caused by water, promoting the oriented deposition of Zn2+. The Zn||V2O5 full cell prototype, assembled with the areal capacity loadings of 2 mAh cm-2 and N/P ratio of 2.95, exhibits negligible capacity fading at 2.0A g-1 for 300 cycles, highlighting the commercial feasibility of supramolecular macrocycles additive for practical RAZBs applications.

Abstract
A quantitative water detection method is urgently needed in storage facilities, space exploration, and the chemical industry. Although numerous physical techniques have been widely utilized to determine the water content, they still suffer from many disadvantages such as highly expensive special instruments, complicated analysis processes, etc. Hence, a convenient, rapid, and sensitive water analysis method is highly desirable. Herein, we developed a visual fluorescence sensing technology for water detection based on reversible PL off-on switching of organic-inorganic hybrid zero-dimensional (0D) manganese halides. In this work, a family of hybrid manganese halides were synthesized through a facile solution method, namely, [NH4(18-Crown-6)]2MnBr4, [Ca(18-Crown-6)·3H2O](18-Crown-6)MnBr4, [NH4(dibenzo-18-Crown-6)]2MnBr4, and [Ca(dibenzo-18-Crown-6)·2H2O]MnBr4. Excited by UV light, these highly crystalline manganese halides exhibit strong green light emissions from the d-d electron transition of Mn2+ with near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield and submillisecond lifetime. Benefiting from the dynamic and weak ionic bonding interactions, these 0D manganese halides display reversible water-response on/off luminescence switching but fail in any other aprotic solvents. Therefore, these 0D hybrid manganese halides can be explored as ultrafast visual fluorescence probes to detect the trace amount of water in organic solvents with multiple superiorities of rapid response time (< 2 s), ultralow detection limit (9.71 ppm), excellent repeatability, etc. The reversible water-response luminescent on/off switching also provides a binary optical gate with advanced applications in anticounterfeiting and information security, etc.

Abstract
A six-cyclic crown ether-type pillar[5]arene was synthesized, and the five ethylene oxide loops were located outside the cavity and not affected by temperature changes which was confirmed by variable-temperature NMR experiment in DMSO-d6 and CDCl3 and 2D 1H-1H NOESY experiment in CDCl3. The six-cyclic pillar[5]-crown also showed greater binding ability of host-guest with bis(pyridinium) derivatives than conventional alkoxy pillar[5]arenes that illustrated through 1H NMR titration spectroscopic experiment in acetone-d6/CDCl3 (1 : 1) and UV-vis titration experiments in CHCl3 at room temperature. The five benzocrown ethers at the periphery were able to bind metal cations by 1H NMR titration spectroscopic experiment in CD2Cl2/methanol-d4(9 : 1).

Abstract
Cuproptosis is a novel copper-dependent form of programmed cell death, displaying important regulatory functions in many human diseases, including cancer. However, the relationship between the changes in mitochondrial viscosity, a key factor associated with cellular malfunction, and cuproptosis is still unclear. Herein, we prepared a phosphorescent iridium (Ir) complex probe for precisely monitoring the changes of mitochondrial viscosity during cuprotosis via phosphorescence lifetime imaging. The Ir complex probe possessed microsecond lifetimes (up to 1 μs), which could be easily distinguished from cellular autofluorescence to improve the imaging contrast and sensitivity. Benefiting from the long phosphorescence lifetime, excellent viscosity selectivity, and mitochondrial targeting abilities, the Ir complex probe could monitor the increase in the mitochondrial viscosity during cuproptosis (from 46.8 to 68.9 cP) in a quantitative manner. Moreover, through in situ fluorescence imaging, the Ir complex probe successfully monitored the increase in viscosity in zebrafish treated with lipopolysaccharides or elescolomol-Cu2+, which were well-known cuproptosis inducers. We anticipate that this new Ir complex probe will be a useful tool for in-depth understanding of the biological effects of mitochondrial viscosity during cuproptosis.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive optical materials have provided a powerful impetus for the development of intelligent optoelectronic devices. The family of organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides, distinguished by their structural diversity, presents a prospective platform for the advancement of stimuli-responsive optical materials. Here, we have employed a crown ether to anchor the A-site cation of a chiral antimony halide, enabling convenient control and modulation of its photophysical properties. The chirality-dependent asymmetric lattice distortion of inorganic skeletons assisted by a crown ether promotes the formation of self-trapped excitons (STEs), leading to a high photoluminescence quantum yield of over 85%, concomitant with the effective circularly polarized luminescence. The antimony halide enantiomers showcase highly sensitive stimuli-responsive luminescent behaviours towards excitation wavelength and temperature simultaneously, exhibiting a versatile reversible colour switching capability from blue to white and further to orange. In situ temperature-dependent luminescence spectra, time-resolved luminescence spectra and theoretical calculations reveal that the multi-stimuli-responsive luminescent behaviours stem from distinct STEs within zero-dimensional lattices. By virtue of the inherent flexibility and adaptability, these chiral antimony chlorides have promising prospects for future applications in cutting-edge fields such as multifunctional illumination technologies and intelligent sensing devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gas chromatography is worldwide recognized as one of the most important analytical techniques, due to its high versatility and reliability. The heart of a gas chromatograph is the column, that allows analyte peak separations and, consequently, accurate qualitative and qualitative analyses. New and more efficient columns are always requested to satisfy new and challenging analytical needs. RESULTS In this work, imidazolium ionic liquids functionalized pillar [5] arenes have been used for the first time as gas chromatographic stationary phases, considering their highly symmetric pillar-shaped architecture with cavities rich in π-electrons. Four imidazolium ionic liquids functionalized pillar [5] arenes have been tested as stationary phases with numerous analytes and isomers. In particular, one of these showed superior performances if compared to commercial columns, enabling challenging isomeric separations of halogenated benzenes, aromatic aldehydes, and aromatic anilines. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY To our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of the ionic liquid P[n]A as a stationary phase in chromatography, either in GC or liquid chromatography (LC) separations. This work demonstrates the promising potential of ionic liquid P[n]A stationary phases for chromatographic separations.

Abstract
Subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) and their aza-analogues (SubTPyzPzs) are fluorophores with strong orange fluorescence emission; however, their sensing ability towards metal cations remains uncharted. To fill this gap, we have developed an efficient method for introducing aza-crown moieties at the axial position of SubPcs and SubTPyzPzs to investigate the structure-activity relationship for sensing alkali (Li+, Na+, K+) and alkaline earth metal (Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+) cations. SubPcs showed better photostability than SubTPyzPzs and even a commonly utilized dye, 6-carboxyfluorescein. Selectivity toward metal cations was driven by the size of the aza-crown, irrespective of the counter anion. The stoichiometry of binding was found to be 1 : 1 in all cases, and the interaction between SubPcs and cations was characterized by the corresponding apparent binding constants (Ka). Notably, an unusually strong interaction of all sensoric SubPcs with Ba2+ compared to other studied cations was demonstrated. The role of the surrounding environment, i.e. the addition of water or methanol, in sensing cations is shown in detail as well. Selectivity towards K+ over Na+ was demonstrated in aqueous media with SubPcs bearing the 1-aza-6-crown-18 moiety in Tween 80 micelles. In this case, a 5-fold increase of the fluorescence quantum yield was observed upon binding K+ ions. The high brightness, photostability, and sensing activity in aqueous media make SubPc macrocycles promising fluorophores for metal cation sensing.

Abstract
This review focuses on the results of synthetic ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric probes, which have been applied to qualitatively and quantitatively detect fluoride anions in cells, living organisms, and real samples. Primary attention is given to progress made in the working mechanism and applications of these probes to detect fluoride ions in living systems. In addition, design strategies and detection limit for these probes are discussed. This review aims to deliver a comprehensive compilation of the examples reported from 2005 to 2021 on the developments of ratiometric chromogenic and fluorogenic chemosensors for fluoride anions. A total of 20 different ratiometric/colorimetric sensors have been selected for the novelty in their design, sensitivity, detection limit, dynamic range, and speed of detection based on the three fundamental principles of F- ion detection, namely Si-O bond cleavage; excimer emission; and intramolecular charge transfer emission through the B-F monomer, B-F-B bridged dimers, and deprotonation of the amide N-H. Special emphasis has been given to categorize the fluorophores that work in aqueous media, and possible strategies that might be adopted to design green sensors are discussed. Finally, a tabular summary of the comparative studies of all the sensors based on their sensitivity, detection limit, working solvent, and applications is provided. This extensive review may expedite improvements in the development of advanced fluorescent probes for vast and stimulating applications in the future.

Abstract
1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs) are biologically active. 1,4-DHP analogs with appropriate substituents also show characteristic fluorescence activity. Here, for the first time, we report a simple and easy synthesis of a novel fluorescent 1,4- DHP derivative of dibenzo[18]-crown-6 (2), which showed promising sensing ability towards physiologically important metal ions. The covalent linking of 1,4-DHP analog with dibenzo[18]-crown-6 instigates its fluorescence activity in (2) and makes it biologically relevant. (2) shows a noteworthy enhancement of fluorescence intensity toward Fe3+ and Ba2+ in methanol medium. DFT studies revealed that metal binding by the crown ether-O atoms leads to structural rigidity, enhancing the fluorescence intensity. Interestingly, (2) shows utility in the quantitative detection of Fe3+ ions in the biological (human blood serum) and food samples.

Abstract
Metal ion detection rests on host-guest recognition. We propose a theoretical protocol for designing an optimal trap for a desired metal cation. A host for magnesium ions was sought for among derivatives of crown ethers 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, and 18-crown-6. Mg-crown complexes and their hydrated counterparts with water molecules bound to the cation were optimized using density functional theory. Based on specific geometric criteria, Interacting quantum atoms analysis and density functional theory-based molecular dynamics of Mg-crown complexes immersed in water, crown ethers for optimal accommodation of Mg2+ in aqueous solution were identified. Selectivity of the chosen crowns towards Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ions is addressed.

Abstract
Phenothiazinone is a promising yet underutilized fluorophore, possibly due to the lack of a general accessibility. This study reports a robust and scalable TEMPO-mediated electrochemical method to access a variety of phenothiazinones from 2-aminothiophenols and quinones. The electrosynthesis proceeds in a simple cell architecture under mild condition, and notably carbon-halogen bond in quinones remains compared to conventional methods, enabling orthogonal downstream functionalization. Mechanistic studies corroborate that TEMPO exerts a protective effect in avoiding product decomposition at the cathode. In particular, benzophenothiazinones show intriguing luminescence in both solid and solution state, and thus their photophysical properties are scrutinized in detail. Further bio-imaging of the lipid droplets in living cells highlights the considerable promise of benzophenothiazinones as fluorescent dye in the biomedical fields.

Abstract
Nuclear accidents and the improper disposal of nuclear wastes have led to serious environmental radioactive pollutions. The rational design of adsorbents for the highly efficient separation of strontium(II) is essential in treating nuclear waste and recovering radioactive strontium resources. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are potential materials for the separation of aqueous metal ions owing to their designable structure and tunable functionality. Herein, a novel 3D MOF material MOF-18Cr6, in which 1D channels are formed using 18-crown-6-ether-containing ligands as channel walls, is fabricated for strontium(II) separation. In contrast to traditional MOFs designed by grafting functional groups in the framework pores, MOF-18Cr6 possesses regular 18-crown-6-ether cavities on the channel walls, which not only can transport and intake strontium(II) via the channels, but also prevent blockage of the channels after the binding of strontium(II). Consequently, the functional sites are fully utilized to achieve a high strontium(II) removal rate of 99.73 % in simulated nuclear wastewater. This study fabricates a highly promising adsorbent for the separation of aqueous radioactive strontium(II), and more importantly, can provide a new strategy for the rational design of high-performance MOF adsorbents for separating target substances from complex aqueous environments.

Abstract
The study investigated the structure-activity relationship of newly synthesized dye-linker-macrocycle (DLM) conjugates and the effect of each component on various biological properties, including cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, intracellular localization, interaction with DNA and photodynamic effects. The conjugates were synthesized by combining 1,8-naphthalimide and thioxanthone dyes with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) and 1-aza-12-crown-4 (1A12C4) using alkyl linkers of different lengths. The results revealed significant differences in biological activity among the various series of conjugates. Particularly, 1A12C4 conjugates exhibited notably higher cytotoxicity compared to cyclen conjugates. Conjugation with 1A12C4 proved to be an effective strategy for increasing cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of small-molecule conjugates. In addition, the results highlighted the critical role of linker length in modulating the biological activity of DLM conjugates. It became clear that the choice of each component (dye, macrocycle and linker) could significantly alter the biological activity of the conjugates.

Abstract
Macrocyclic molecules have been used in various fields owing to their guest binding properties. Macrocycle-based host-guest chemistry in solution can allow for precise control of complex formation. Although solution-phase host-guest complexes are easily prepared, their limited stability and processability prevent widespread application. Extending host-guest chemistry from solution to the solid state results in complexes that are generally more robust, enabling easier processing and broadened applications. Macrocyclic compounds in the solid state can encapsulate guests with larger affinities than their soluble counterparts. This is crucial for use in applications such as separation science and devices. In this Review, we summarize recent progress in macrocycle-based solid-state host-guest chemistry and discuss the basic physical chemistry of these complexes. Representative macrocycles and their solid-state complexes are explored, as well as potential applications. Finally, perspectives and challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Porphyrins and crown ether hybrids have emerged as a promising class of molecules composed of elements of a tetrapyrrole macrocycle and an oligo(ethylene glycol) segment. These hybrid systems constitute a broad group of compounds, including crowned porphyrins, crownphyrins, and calixpyrrole-crown ether systems forming Pacman complexes with transition metals. Their unique nature accustoms them as excellent ligands and hosts capable of binding guest molecules/ions, but also to undergo unusual transformations, such as metal-induced expansion/contraction. Depending on the design of the particular hybrid, they present unique features involving intriguing redox chemistry, interesting optical properties, and reactivity towards transition metals. In this perspective article, the overview of both the early designs of porphyrin-crown ether hybrids, as well as the most recent advances in the synthesis and characterisation of this remarkable group of macrocyclic systems, are addressed. The discussion covers the strategies employed in synthesising these systems, including cyclisation reactions, self-assembly, and their remarkable reactivity. The potential applications of porphyrin-crown ether hybrids are also highlighted. Moreover, the discussion identifies the challenges associated with synthesising and characterising hybrids, outlining the possible future directions.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn2+ ion batteries present notable advantages, including high abundance, low toxicity, and intrinsic nonflammability. However, they exhibit severe irreversibility due to uncontrolled dendrite growth and corrosion reactions, which limit their practical applications. Inspired by their distinct molecular recognition characteristics, supramolecular crown ethers featuring interior cavity sizes identical to the diameter of Zn2+ ions were screened as macrocyclic hosts to optimize the Zn2+ coordination environment, facilitating the suppression of the reactivity of H2O molecules and inducing the in-situ formation of organic-inorganic hybrid dual-protective interphase. The in-situ assembled interphase confers the system with an "ion-sieving" effect to repel H2O molecules and facilitate rapid Zn2+ transport, enabling the suppression of side reactions and uniform deposition of Zn2+ ions. Consequently, we were able to achieve dendrite-free Zn2+ plating/stripping at 98.4% Coulombic efficiency for approximately 300 cycles in Zn||Cu cell, steady charge-discharge for 1360 h in Zn||Zn symmetric cell, and improved cyclability of 70% retention for 200 cycles in Zn||LMO full cell, outlining a promising strategy to challenge lithium-ion batteries in low-cost, and large-scale applications.

Abstract
Two-dimensional membranes have shown promising potential for ion-selective separation due to their well-defined interlayer channels. However, the typical "trade-off" effect of throughput and selectivity limits their developments. Herein, we report a precise tailoring of monovalent cation sieving technology with enhanced water throughput via the intercalation of graphene-oxide membranes with selective crown ethers. By tuning the lamellar spacing of graphene oxide, a critical interlayer distance (∼11.04 Å) is revealed to maximize water flux (53.4 mol m-2 h-2 bar-1) without sacrificing ion selectivity. As a result, the elaborately enlarged interlayer distance offers improved water permeance. Meanwhile, various specific cations with remarkably high selectivity can be separated in mixed solutions because of the strong chelation with crown ethers. This work opens up a new avenue for high-throughput and precise regulation of ion separations for various application scenarios.

Abstract
A bis(aza-18-crown-6)-containing 2,5-di(benzylidene)cyclopentanone and a bis(ammoniopropyl) derivative of 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene in MeCN were found to form a supramolecular charge-transfer complex, which can act as an "off-on" fluorescent sensor for the Ca2+ and 1,12-dodecanediammonium ions. The molecular structure of this complex in solution was studied by density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
New nitroxides based on aza-crown ethers were prepared and employed as selective sensors for the detection of inorganic and organic cations by EPR analysis of the corresponding host-guest complexes. The nitroxide unit behaves as a sensitive probe for a number of alkali and alkaline earth metal cations affording EPR spectra differing in the value of nitrogen hyperfine constants and in the appearance of splitted signals due to the non-zero nuclear spin of some metal cation upon complexation. Owing to the remarkable EPR spectral differences between the host and the corresponding cation complex the new macrocycles are likely to act as multitasking tools to recognize several cationic species. EPR behaviour of the larger nitroxide azacrown 1⋅ when acting as a wheel in a radical synthetic bistable [2]rotaxane containing both secondary dialkylammonium and 1,2-bis(pyridinium) molecular stations, was also investigated. Reversible movements of the macrocycle between the two recognition sites in the rotaxane were promptly revealed by EPR, which shows significant changes either in nitrogen coupling constant values (aN ) or in the spectral shape in the two rotaxane co-conformations.

Abstract
In the past half-century, macrocycles with different structures and functions, have played a critical role in supramolecular chemistry. Two macrocyclic moieties can be linked to form bismacrocycle molecules. Compared with monomacrocycle, the unique structures of bismacrocycles led to their specific recognition and assembly properties, also a wide range of applications, including molecular recognition, supramolecular self-assembly, advanced optical material construction, etc. In this review, we focus on the structure of bismacrocycle and their applications. Our goal is to summarize and outline the possible future development directions of bismacrocycle research.

Abstract
Hexanuclear polyoxomolybdenum-based discrete supermolecules Nax[MoV6O6(μ2-O)9(Htrz)6-x(trz)x]·nH2O (x = 0, n = 15, 1; x = 1, n = 12, 2; x = 2, n = 10, 3; x = 2, n = 49, 4; Htrz = 1H-1,2,3-triazole) have been prepared and fully characterized with different amounts of sodium cations inside and outside the intrinsic holes. Structural analyses demonstrate that they all exist a triangular channel constructed by six molybdenum-oxygen groups with inner diameters of 2.86 (1), 2.48 (2), and 3.04 (3/4) Å, respectively. Zero, one, or two univalent enthetic guest Na+ have been hosted around the structural centers, which reflect the expansion and contraction effects at microscopic level. Water-soluble species can serve as crown ether-like metallacycles before and after the sodium binding. Diverse nanoscale pores are further formed through intermolecular accumulations with hydrogen bonding. Gas adsorption studies indicate that 2-4 can selectively adsorb CO2 and O2 but have little or even no affinities toward H2, N2, and CH4. Theoretical calculations corroborate the roles of Na+ and auxiliary ligand with different states in bond distances, molecular orbitals, electrostatic potentials, and lattice energies in these discrete clusters. The binding orders of sodium cations in 2-4 are similar with the classical crown ethers, where 2 is the strongest one with 2.226(4)av Å for sodium cation bonded to six O atoms.

Abstract
Herein, a novel optical chemosensor, (CM1 = 2, 6-di((E)-benzylidene)-4-methylcyclohexan-1-one), was designed/synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The experimental observations indicated that CM1 is an efficient and selective chemosensor towards Cd2+, even in the presence of other metal ions, such as Mn2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Ce3+, K+, Hg2+,, and Zn2+ in the aqueous medium. The newly synthesized chemosensor, CM1, showed a significant change in the fluorescence emission spectrum upon coordination with Cd2+. The formation of the Cd2+ complex with CM1 was confirmed from the fluorometric response. The 1:2 combination of Cd2+ with CM1 was found optimum for the desired optical properties, which was confirmed through fluorescent titration, Job's plot, and DFT calculation. Moreover, CM1 showed high sensitivity towards Cd2+ with a very low detection limit (19.25 nM). Additionally, the CM1 was recovered and recycled by the addition of EDTA solution that combines with Cd2+ ion and, hence, frees up the chemosensor.

Abstract
trans-3,4-Dihydroxyselenolane (DHS), a water-soluble cyclic selenide, exhibits selenoenzyme-like unique redox activities through reversible oxidation to the corresponding selenoxide. Previously, we demonstrated that DHS can be applied as an antioxidant against lipid peroxidation and a radioprotector by means of adequate modifications of the two hydroxy (OH) groups. Herein, we synthesized new DHS derivatives with a crown-ether ring fused to the OH groups (DHS-crown-n (n = 4 to 7), 1-4) and investigated their behaviors of complex formation with various alkali metal salts. According to the X-ray structure analysis, it was found that the two oxygen atoms of DHS change the directions from diaxial to diequatorial by complexation. The similar conformational transition was also observed in solution NMR experiments. The 1H NMR titration in CD3OD further confirmed that DHS-crown-6 (3) forms stable 1:1 complexes with KI, RbCl and CsCl, while it forms a 2:1 complex with KBPh4. The results suggested that the 1:1 complex (3·MX) exchanges the metal ion with metal-free 3 through the formation of the 2:1 complex. The redox catalytic activity of 3 was evaluated using a selenoenzyme model reaction between H2O2 and dithiothreitol. The activity was significantly reduced in the presence of KCl due to the complex formation. Thus, the redox catalytic activity of DHS could be controlled by the conformational transition induced by coordination to an alkali metal ion.

Abstract
The development of fluorescent pigments is an area of interest in several research fields due to their high sensitivity. In the current study-eight known and three new N,N-dimethylamino-chalcones (12a-k) were synthesized with good yields using the Claisen-Schmidt reaction. For each molecular system, the photophysical properties, including the maximum absorption wavelength (λAbsorption), molar absorption coefficient (ε), maximum excitation wavelength (λExcitation), maximum emission wavelength (λEmission), Stokes Shift (Δλ), fluorescence quantum yield (Φfl), fluorescence lifetime (τfl), radiative and non-radiative rate constants (kR and kNR, respectively) were evaluated. Variations in each of these properties were analyzed depending on the substituents present on each compound. To relate the chemical structures of the synthesized compounds to their photophysical properties, Hansch analysis (2D-QSPR) was applied. As a result of Hansch analysis, we found different photophysical properties related to molecular orbitals and the energy of their derivatives (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital-HOMO, Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital-LUMO, Difference between LUMO-HOMO-ΔLH, Chemical potential-µ, Hardness-η, Softness-S, and electrophilic global index-ω) as well as to the atomic charges on atoms C5, Cα, Cβ, and CO. The application of this type of analysis has made it possible to understand and subsequently design new molecules with defined photophysical properties. Finally, the compounds were use as fluorescent pigment to get living cell imaging on breast cancer cells, obtaining the compound 12a as promissory alternative.

Abstract
Misfolding of proteins is associated with many incurable diseases in human beings. Understanding the process of aggregation from monomers to fibrils, the characterization of all intermediate species, and the origin of toxicity is very challenging. Extensive research including computational and experimental shed some light on these tricky phenomena. Non-covalent interactions between amyloidogenic domains of proteins play a major role in their self-assembly which can be disrupted by designed chemical tools. This will lead to the development of inhibitors of detrimental amyloid formations. In supramolecular host-guest chemistry approaches, different macrocycles function as hosts for encapsulating hydrophobic guests, i.e. phenylalanine residues of proteins, in their hydrophobic cavities via non-covalent interactions. In this way, they can disrupt the interactions between adjacent amyloidogenic proteins and prevent their self-aggregation. This supramolecular approach has also emerged as a prospective tool to modify the aggregation of several amyloidogenic proteins. In this review, we discussed recent supramolecular host-guest chemistry-based strategies for the inhibition of amyloid protein aggregation.

Abstract
Ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose (EHEC) and a silica-based xerogel (SBX) were functionalized with a (18-crown-6)-styrylpyridine precursor (1) to obtain the modified polymers EHEC-1 and SBX-1, respectively. Films were obtained and the resulting materials were used as fluorogenic devices for the detection of Hg2+ in water. The films produced from EHEC-1 showed high water retention, making it difficult to apply as a reusable optical chemosensor. Since SBXs are recognized in the literature for their hydrophobicity, a hybrid film composed of EHEC and SBX-1 which did not show water retention was produced and characterized. This system showed rapid response time, outstanding selectivity compared to several other studied metal ions, and sensitivity for the detection of Hg2+ in water. The detection limit for this material using fluorescence technique was 2 ppb (∼10-8 mol L-1). The reversibility of the complex formed between EHEC-SBX-1 film and Hg2+ was demonstrated by the addition of cysteine to the medium. The result obtained also allowed the assembly of INHIBIT and IMPLICATION molecular logic gates, using Hg2+ and cysteine as inputs. The results described in this article have important significance in the development of novel reversible fluorogenic chemosensors and adsorbent materials for the effective removal of Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
Porphyrin derivatives are ubiquitous in bio-organisms and are associated with proteins that play important biological roles, such as oxygen transport, photosynthesis, and catalysis. Porphyrins are very fascinating research objects for chemists, physicists, and biologists owing to their versatile chemical and physical properties. Porphyrin derivatives are actively used in various fields, such as molecular recognition, energy conversion, sensors, biomedicine, and catalysts. Porphyrin derivatives can be used as building blocks for supramolecular polymers because their primitive structures have C4 symmetry, which allows for the symmetrical introduction of self-assembling motifs. This review describes the fabrication of porphyrin-based supramolecular polymers and novel discoveries in supramolecular polymer growth. First, we summarise the (i) design concepts, (ii) growth mechanism and (iii) analytical methods of porphyrin-based supramolecular polymers. Then, the examples of porphyrin-based supramolecular polymers formed by (iv) hydrogen bonding, (v) metal coordination-based interaction, (vi) host-guest complex formation, and (vii) others are summarised. Finally, (viii) applications and perspectives are discussed. Although supramolecular polymers, in a broad sense, can include either two-dimensional (2D) networks or three-dimensional (3D) porous polymer structures; this review mainly focuses on one-dimensional (1D) fibrous supramolecular polymer structures.

Abstract
The complexation between tiara[5]arene (T[5]) and silver trifluoroacetate affords a binuclear metallo-pseudorotaxane on account of multiple endo-cavity AgI η2-arene interactions. Furthermore, two such enantiomeric [(CF3CO2Ag)2⊂T[5]] complexes are bridged by an extra (CF3CO2Ag)2 dimer through exo-wall AgI η2-arene coordination, resulting in a unique handcuff metallo-bis-pseudorotaxane structure in the solid state.

Abstract
The design of fluorescence sensor for selective detection of Fe2+ is very important as it is part of different biochemical redox system related to a number of diseases. In many occasion sensors are unable to distinguish Fe2+ from Fe3+ ions. In the present work, we report simple chalcone type sensors for sensing Fe2+ ions in semi aqueous system. The receptors R1 and R2 have showed excellent sensing properties at pH 7 in CH3OH-H2O (1:1, v/v) solvent system. The fluorescence emission intensity of the complexes between hosts and Fe2+ is least affected by the other competitive metal ions leading to the formation of very tight host-guest complex. The LOD for the R1 and R2 for Fe2+ are 1.91 μM and 3.54 μM respectively, which is quite low in compared to the many other reported sensors. The practical applicability of these sensors is determined by the detection of Fe2+ in real water samples. So chalcones would be cost effective PET inhibited fluorescence sensor for Fe2+.

Abstract
Nitrobenzofurazan derivatives are well known for their fluorescence, whilst crown ethers are known for their complexing capacity toward cationic species. In this study, we present the synthesis and structural characterization of a new derivative containing both nitrobenzofurazan moieties and a crown ether core. The new compound was obtained from dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether, which was first nitrated, reduced to the corresponding amine, and subsequently derivatized with NBD. Structural analyses performed by IR, NMR, UV–Vis, and MS confirmed its structure and physico-chemical behavior toward the complexation of alkaline cations.

Abstract
Four compounds 1-4 were designed and synthesised, comprising a 4-amino-N-aryl-1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore, a piperazine receptor, and an aryl group, as fluorescent logic gates. At the imide position, the substituent is phenyl (1), 1,2-dimethoxyphenyl (2), benzo-15-crown-5 (3), or benzo-18-crown-6 (4). Molecules 1 and 2 are constructed according to a fluorophore-spacer-receptor format, while 3 and 4 are engineered according to a receptor1-spacer1-fluorophore-spacer2-receptor2 format based on photoinduced electron transfer and internal charge transfer mechanisms. The compounds were studied in water, water/methanol mixtures of different ratios, and methanol by UV-visible absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, as a function of pH, metal ions and solvent polarity. The excited state of 1-4 is 8.4 ± 0.2 in water, 7.6 ± 0.1 in 1 : 1 (v/v) water/methanol, and 7.1 ± 0.3 in methanol. The of 3 in water is 0.92 and the and of 4 in water are 2.3 and 2.9. 1H NMR data in D2O and CD3OD confirm H+ interaction at the piperazine moiety, and Na+ and Ba2+ binding at the benzo-15-crown-5 and benzo-18-crown-6 moieties of 3 and 4. By altering the solvent polarity, the fluorescent logic gates can be reconfigured between TRANSFER logic and AND logic. Molecules with polarity reconfigurable logic could be useful tools for probing the microenvironment of cellular membranes and protein interfaces.

Abstract
The activity levels of key substances (metal ions, reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen, biological small molecules, etc.) in organisms are closely related to intracellular redox reactions, disease occurrence and treatment, as well as drug absorption and distribution. Fluorescence imaging technology provides a visual tool for medicine, showing great potential in the fields of molecular biology, cellular immunology and oncology. In recent years, organic fluorescent probes have attracted much attention in the bioanalytical field. Among various organic fluorescent probes, fluorescent organic small molecule probes (FOSMPs) have become a research hotspot due to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as good photostability, high spatial and temporal resolution, as well as excellent biocompatibility. FOSMPs have proved to be suitable for in vivo bioimaging and detection. On the basis of the introduction of several primary fluorescence mechanisms, the latest progress of FOSMPs in the applications of bioimaging and detection is comprehensively reviewed. Following this, the preparation and application of fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONPs) that are designed with FOSMPs as fluorophores are overviewed. Additionally, the prospects of FOSMPs in bioimaging and detection are discussed.

Abstract
Salphen-based [n + n] macrocycles have been widely explored for their unique chemical and topological properties following metal ion coordination. Despite having vastly different reactivity than their coordinated counterparts, fewer studies have focused on metal-free salphen macrocycles. We investigated the binding of [2 + 2] Schiff-base macrocycle host 3, which contains a central 18-crown-6-like cavity and two N2O2 moieties. This macrocycle strongly binds to spherical cationic guests (K11 ≈ 103-104 M-1, DCM/MeCN). The most robust binding was shown for K+ and Na+, followed by Li+ and Rb+. More sterically demanding cationic guests like dibenzylammonium (DBA+) showed almost no binding. The binding pocket in 3 is slightly smaller than 18-crown-6, resulting in binding outside the cavity, which provides a scaffold appropriate for 2 : 1 complexes, where two host molecules sandwich the guest. All host-guest complexes follow a 2 : 1 noncooperative binding model, where each successive binding event is less likely than the previous, unlike coordinated versions of 3, where most binding is 1 : 1.

Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4) is carcinogenic, extremely toxic, and induces serious environmental contamination and physiological dysfunction; however, it is widely used as an industrial material. Hence, the development of a simple and effective analytical method to detect N2H4 detection in both environmental and biological sectors is warranted. In this work, an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based fluorescent probe 1, namely (Z)- 1-(4-acetoxybenzyl)- 4-(1-cyano-2-(7-(diethylamino)- 2-oxo-2 H-chromen-3-yl)vinyl)pyridin-1-ium, was designed for dual-excitation (420 and 600 nm, excitation separations >160 nm), near infrared (NIR)-emissive, and ratiometric fluorescent detection of N2H4. The sensing behavior of probe 1 for N2H4 detection was shown to be available over a wide pH range, and detection limits of 68 nM and 569 nM were achieved at excitation wavelengths of 420 and 600 nm, respectively. In addition, probe 1 was successfully used to image mitochondrial N2H4 in living cells and zebrafish. Furthermore, the probe was also capable of determining hydrazine signals in test strips and environmental soil.

Abstract
Fluorescent molecules absorb photons of specific wavelengths and emit a longer wavelength photon within nanoseconds. Recently, fluorescent materials have been widely used in the life and material sciences. Fluorescently labelled heterocyclic compounds are useful in bioanalytical applications, including in vivo imaging, high throughput screening, diagnostics, and light-emitting diodes. These compounds have various therapeutic properties, including antifungal, antitumor, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic activities. Different neutral fluorescent markers containing nitrogen heterocycles (quinolones, azafluoranthenes, pyrazoloquinolines, etc.) have several electrochemical, biological, and nonlinear optic applications. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which destroys tumors and keeps normal tissues safe, works in the presence of molecular oxygen with light and a photosensitizing drugs (dye) to obtain a therapeutic effect. These compounds can potentially be effective templates for producing devices used in biological research. Blending crown compounds with fluorescent residues to create sensors has been frequently investigated. Florescent heterocyclic compounds (crown ether) increase metal solubility in non-aqueous fluids, broadening the application window. Fluorescent supramolecular polymers have widespread use in fluorescent materials, fluorescence probing, data storage, bio-imaging, drug administration, reproduction, biocatalysis, and cancer treatment. The employment of fluorophores, including organic chromophores and crown ethers, which have high selectivity, sensitivity, and stability constants, opens up new avenues for research. Fluorescent organic compounds are gaining importance in the biological world daily because of their diverse functionality with remarkable structural features and positive properties in the fields of medicine, photochemistry, and spectroscopy.

Abstract
As highly versatile crystalline porous materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as an ideal platform for developing novel functional materials, attributed to their precise tunability of structure and functionality. Introducing chiral functional units into frameworks produces chiral COFs (CCOFs) with chiral superiorities through chirality conservation and conversion processes. This review summarises recent research progress in CCOFs, including synthetic methods, chiroptical characterisations, and their applications in asymmetric catalysis, chiral separation, and enantioselective recognition and sensing. Challenges and limitations are discussed to uncover future opportunities in CCOF research.
