Since as early as 1867, molecular sensors have been recognized as being intelligent
“devices” capable of addressing a variety of issues related to our environment and health …

In this review we cover recent developments in fluorescent and colorimetric anion sensors.
These systems employ a range of different non-covalent interactions including hydrogen …

The anion-π interaction, a non-covalent attractive force between hosts (electron-deficient
arenes) and guests (anions) besides having many turns and surprises has recently turned …

Recognition of anions by synthetic receptors is an integral part of supramolecular chemistry
continuing to expand and find new application areas in our daily life. Many applications …

Organic cages are three-dimensional polycyclic compounds of great interest in the scientific
community due to their unique features, which generally include simple synthesis based on …

The present review highlights the synthetic development of structurally diverse receptors for
perchlorate oxyanion. The recognition of tetrahedral perchlorate is important as this anion …

Two unsymmetrical dipodal monourea anion receptors BPU-1 and BPU-2 with varying π-
acidic terminal electron-withdrawing substituents (–NO2 and–CF3) can interact with anions …

Designing cages with switchable cavities towards guests is the key for effective drug loading
and controlled release. For this purpose, a new asymmetrical molecular cage containing two …

Pt (II) polypyridine complex-based probe exhibits promising performance in anion detection
by the change of the absorption and emission properties based on supramolecular self …

Transient melting of the duplex‐DNA (B‐DNA) during DNA transactions allows repeated
sequences to fold into non‐B DNA structures, including DNA junctions and G‐quadruplexes …
