There is great need for stand-alone luminescence-based chemosensors that exemplify
selectivity, sensitivity, and applicability and that overcome the challenges that arise from …

Macrocycles are molecular entities that display a combination of molecular recognition and
complexation properties with vital implications for host–guest/supramolecular chemistry …

Porphyrins feature prominently in nature, be it as enzymatic cofactors, electron and exciton
shuffles, as photoactive dyes, or as signaling substances. Their involvement in the …

Sensing of metal ions and anions is of great importance because of their widespread
distribution in environmental systems and biological processes. Colorimetric and fluorescent …

Halide diffusion across the charge‐transporting layer followed by a reaction with metal
electrode represents a critical factor limiting the long‐term stability of perovskite solar cells …

Cation and anion recognition have both played central roles in the development of
supramolecular chemistry. Much of the associated research has focused on the …

Since the start of this millennium, remarkable progress in the binding and sensing of anions
has been taking place, driven in part by discoveries in the use of hydrogen bonding, as well …

Anion recognition chemistry has grown from its beginnings in the late 1960s with positively
charged ammonium cryptand receptors for halide binding to, at the end of the millennium, a …

Phosphate anions are one of the most important constituents of living systems. Together with
heterocyclic bases and sugars, phosphates make up DNA, the hereditary element of living …

Porphyrin contains four inwardly oriented nitrogen atoms. It is arguably the most ubiquitous
multifunctional naturally occurring macrocycle that has inspired the design of novel nitrogen …
