Molecular Sensors and Ion Detection

The field of molecular logic gates originated 25 years ago, when A. P. de Silva published a seminal article in Nature. Stimulated by this ground breaking research, scientists were inspired to join the race to simulate the workings of the fundamental components of integrated circuits using molecules. The rules of this…

Cholesterol and sphingomyelin form together a highly ordered membrane phase, which is believed to play important biological functions in plasma membranes of mammalian cells. Since sphingomyelin is present mainly at the outer leaflet of cell membranes, monitoring its lipid order requires molecular probes capable to bin…

Remarkably versatile chemistry of Bodipy dyes allows the design and straightforward synthesis of multivalent-multitopic derivatives, which, with judicious selection of metal ion-ligand pairs based on known affinities, affords control and manipulation of photoinduced electron transfer and internal charge transfer proce…

Luminescent platinum complexes have attractive chemical and photophysical properties such as high stability, emission in the visible region, high emission quantum yields and long excited state lifetimes. However the absorption spectrum of the compounds in the UV region, preventing their excitation in the harmless visi…

Protonated amino acids and derivatives RCH(NH2)C(+O)X · H(+) (X = OH, NH2, OCH3) do not form stable acylium ions on loss of HX, but rather the acylium ion eliminates CO to form the immonium ion RCH = NH 2 (+) . By contrast, protonated dipeptide derivatives H2NCH(R)C(+O)NHCH(R')C(+O)X · H(+) [X = OH, OCH3, NH2, NHCH(R″…

We developed a novel boradiazaindacene derivative to detect cyanide ions in solution at micromolar concentrations. This structurally simple chemosensor displays a large decrease in emission intensity and a reversible color change from red to blue on contact with cyanide ions. Highly fluorescent polymeric films can be…

We introduce a novel sensing mechanism for nitric oxide (NO) detection with a particular easily synthesized embodiment (NO(550)), which displays a rapid and linear response to NO with a red-shifted 1500-fold turn-on signal from a dark background. Excellent selectivity was observed against other reactive oxygen/nitroge…
