Due to the wide range of applications and biological significance, the development of optical probes for silver, gold and platinum ions has been an active research area in the past few years. This tutorial review focuses on the recent contributions concerning the fluorescent or colorimetric sensors for these metal ions, and is organized according to their structural classifications (for Ag(+) detection) and unique mechanisms between the sensors and metal ions (for Au(3+) and Pt(2+) detection). 相似文献
Intermolecular interactions that involve aromatic rings are key processes in both chemical and biological recognition. It is common knowledge that the existence of anion-π interactions between anions and electron-deficient (π-acidic) aromatics indicates that electron-rich (π-basic) aromatics are expected to be repulsive to anions due to their electron-donating character. Here we report the first concrete theoretical and experimental evidence of the anion-π interaction between electron-rich alkylbenzene rings and a fluoride ion in CH(3)CN. The cyclophane cavity bridged with three naphthoimidazolium groups selectively complexes a fluoride ion by means of a combination of anion-π interactions and (C-H)(+)···F(-)-type ionic hydrogen bonds. (1)H NMR, (19)F NMR, and fluorescence spectra of 1 and 2 with fluoride ions are examined to show that only 2 can host a fluoride ion in the cavity between two alkylbenzene rings to form a sandwich complex. In addition, the cage compounds can serve as highly selective and ratiometric fluorescent sensors for a fluoride ion. With the addition of 1 equiv of F(-), a strongly increased fluorescence emission centered at 385 nm appears at the expense of the fluorescence emission of 2 centered at 474 nm. Finally, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments were performed to obtain the binding constants of the compounds 1 and 2 with F(-) as well as Gibbs free energy. The 2-F(-) complex is more stable than the 1-F(-) complex by 1.87 kcal mol(-1), which is attributable to the stronger anion-π interaction between F(-) and triethylbenzene. 相似文献
Tris(2-((ethylimino)methyl)pyren-1-ol)amine (1) was synthesized and introduced as the first tetrameric vanadate fluorescence sensor, the entire binding of which was successfully accomplished in two steps with distinct colorimetric changes and "off-on" fluorescent enhancement. 相似文献

A PDA based sensor, derived from a di‐(2‐picolyl) amine (DPA) substituted diacetylene monomer, displayed a selective colorimetric change and a large fluorescence enhancement in the presence of lead ions. The lead selective PDA‐based chemosensor enabled easy detection of the presence of lead in 100% aqueous solution by the naked‐eye.
Despite its clinical promise, photodynamic therapy (PDT) suffers from a key drawback associated with its oxygen‐dependent nature, which limits its effective use against hypoxic tumors. Moreover, both PDT‐mediated oxygen consumption and microvascular damage further increase tumor hypoxia and, thus, impede therapeutic outcomes. In recent years, numerous investigations have focused on strategies for overcoming this drawback of PDT. These efforts, which are summarized in this review, have produced many innovative methods to avoid the limits of PDT associated with hypoxia. 相似文献
