A new chemosensor molecule 3 based on a ferrocene-quinoxaline dyad recognizes mercury (II) cations in acetonitrile solution. Upon recognition, an anodic shift of the ferrocene/ferrocenium oxidation peaks and a progressive red-shift (Δλ=140 nm) of the low-energy band, are observed in its absorption spectrum. This change in the absorption spectrum is accompanied by a colour change from orange to ...

The design and synthesis of pyridinium-based symmetrical diamides 1 and 2 along with their anion binding studies through 'indicator-diplacement assay' are reported. Both the chemosensors effectively respond in in CH(3)CN-H(2)O (4 : 1 v/v) at pH = 6.3 for the selective naked-eye detection of citrate. Additionally, chemosensor 2 (c = 6.29 × 10(-3) M) forms a stable gel only with citrate in CH(3)C...

New coumarin-based chiral thiourea sensor 1 was found to be an enantioselective fluorescent chemosensor for N-Boc-protected proline. The chiral sensor shows lower background fluorescence, and higher fluorescence enhancement with 18 nm blue shifts. Job plot analysis result indicates that sensor 1 can form a 1 : 1 stoichiometric complex and it could be used as a fluorescence sensor for the determ...

A novel iridium(III) complex-based chemosensor bearing the 5,6-bis(salicylideneimino)-1,10-phenanthroline ligand receptor was developed, which exhibited a highly sensitive and selective color change from colorless to yellow and a visible turn-off luminescence response upon the addition of Cu(II) ions. The interactions of this iridium(III) complex with Cu2+ ions and thirteen other cations have b...

The study aims to analyze the effect of heteroatom replacement on benzimidazole derivative chemosensor compounds ability form hydrogen bonds with anions. In this case, N in sensor compound (S1) is replaced O become a benzoxazole (S3). Calculating energy molecules involved electron level gives following results: replacing heteroatoms more electronegative atoms increases HOMO molecules, making re...

A new fluorescent chemosensor based on a Rhodamine B and a benzyl 3-aminopropanoate conjugate (RBAP) was designed, synthesized, and structurally characterized. Its single crystal structure was obtained and analyzed by X-ray analysis. In a MeOH/H2O (2:3, v/v, pH 5.95) solution RBAP exhibits a high selectivity and excellent sensitivity for Sn2+ ions in the presence of many other metal cations. Th...

An approach to the design of artificial receptors is described involving the fusion of several sixmembered rings, preorganizing nitrogen and oxygen hydrogen bonding sites. A hexagonal lattice chemosensor extracts the blood metabolite creatinine into water and acts as a chromogenic reagent for this clinical analyte. Another receptor binds urea via six hydrogen bonds, forming a complex that is st...

A poly(amine ester) dendrimer with naphthyl units (G1N6) has been synthesized as a fluorescent chemosensor for metal ions. We investigated the metal-ion recognition of G1N6 by adding each of Ag(+), Al(3+), Ba(2+), Ca(2+), Cd(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(3+), Mg(2+), Ni(2+), and Zn(2+) in acetonitrile solution. Large changes were observed in the fluorescence spectra of G1N6 upon the addition of Al(3+...

A stereodynamic chemosensor that can be used for simultaneous determination of the absolute configuration, enantiomeric composition and total concentration of chiral amines and amino alcohols based on two fast optical measurements was prepared and tested. The free sensor is CD-silent and produces characteristic blue-shifted UV and CD signals upon substrate binding via Schiff base formation. The...
