Abstract
This research presents the application of Dinaphthoylated Oxacalix[4]arene (DNOC) as a novel fluorescent receptor for the purpose of selectively detecting nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). The characterization of DNOC was conducted through the utilization of spectroscopic methods, including 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and ESI-MS. The receptor demonstrated significant selectivity in acetonitrile towards several nitroaromatic analytes, such as MNA, 2,4-DNT, 2,3-DNT, 1,3-DNB, 2,6-DNT, and 4-NT. This selectivity was validated by the measurement of emission spectra. The present study focuses on the examination of binding constants, employing Stern-Volmer analysis, as well as the determination of the lowest detection limit (3σ/Slope) and fluorescence quenching. These investigations aim to provide insights into the inclusion behavior of DNOC with each of the six analytes under fluorescence spectra investigation. Furthermore, the selectivity trend of the ligand DNOC for NAC detection is elucidated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations conducted using the Gaussian 09 software. The examination of energy gaps existing between molecular orbitals, namely the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), provides a valuable understanding of electron-transfer processes and electronic interactions. Smaller energy gaps are indicative of heightened selectivity resulting from favorable electron-transfer processes, whereas bigger gaps suggest less selectivity attributable to weaker electronic contacts. This work integrates experimental and computational methodologies to provide a full understanding of the selective binding behavior of DNOC. As a result, DNOC emerges as a viable chemical sensor for detecting nitroaromatic explosives.

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
Methods for the remote detection of warfare agents and explosives have been in high demand in recent times. Among the several detection methods, fluorescence methods appear to be more convenient due to their low cost, simple operation, fast response time, and naked-eye-visible sensory response. For fluorescence methods, a large variety of fluorescent materials, such as small-molecule-based fluorophores, aggregation-induced emission fluorophores/materials, and supramolecular systems, have been reported in the literature. Among them, fluorescent (bio)polymers/(bio)polymer-based materials have gained wide attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and sensory performance, their ability to recognize explosives via different sensing mechanisms and their combinations, and, finally, the so-called amplification of the sensory response. This review provides the most up-to-date data on the utilization of polymers and polymer-based materials for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs)/nitro-explosives (NEs) in the last decade. The literature data have been arranged depending on the polymer type and/or sensory mechanism.

Critical Analysis of Association Constants between Calixarenes and Nitroaromatic Compounds Obtained by Fluorescence. Implications for Explosives Sensing. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073052.

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

Abstract
Nitroaromatic explosives are the most common explosives, and their detection is important to public security, human health, and environmental protection. In particular, the detection of solid explosives through directly revealing the presence of their vapors in air would be desirable for compact and portable devices. In this study, amino-functionalized carbon nanotubes were used to produce resistive sensors to detect nitroaromatic explosives by interaction with their vapors. Devices formed by carbon nanotube networks working at room temperature revealed trinitrotoluene, one of the most common nitroaromatic explosives, and di-nitrotoluene-saturated vapors, with reaction and recovery times of a few and tens of seconds, respectively. This type of resistive device is particularly simple and may be easily combined with low-power electronics for preparing portable devices.

Fluorescent Bis-Calix[4]arene-Carbazole Conjugates: Synthesis and Inclusion Complexation Studies with Fullerenes C 60 and C 70. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26165000.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry has become a central theme in chemical and biological sciences over the last decades. Supramolecular structures are being increasingly used in biomedical applications, particularly in devices requiring specific stimuli-responsiveness. Fullerenes, and supramolecular assemblies thereof, have gained great visibility in biomedical sciences and engineering. Sensitive and selective methods are required for the study of their inclusion in complexes in various application fields. With this in mind, two new fluorescent bis-calix[4]arene-carbazole conjugates (4 and 5) have been designed. Herein, their synthesis and ability to behave as specific hosts for fullerenes C60 and C70 is described. The optical properties of the novel compounds and their complexes with C60 and C70 were thoroughly studied by UV-Vis and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies. The association constants (Ka) for the complexation of C60 and C70 by 4 and 5 were determined by fluorescence techniques. A higher stability was found for the C70@4 supramolecule (Ka = 5.6 × 104 M−1; ΔG = −6.48 kcal/mol). Evidence for the formation of true inclusion complexes between the host 4 and C60/C70 was obtained from NMR spectroscopy performed at low temperatures. The experimental findings were fully corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) models performed on the host–guest assemblies (C60@4 and C70@4).
