Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical sensing with macrocyclic receptors.
TL;DR: This review presents the progress made so far in turning synthetic macrocyclic hosts, namely cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils and cavitands, into effective biochemical sensors and the strategies utilized to solve the above mentioned issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composite fast scintillators based on high-Z fluorescent metal–organic framework nanocrystals

TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype scintillator fabricated by embedding fluorescent metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocrystals in a polymer was presented, achieving an ultrafast scintillation rise time of about 50
Journal ArticleDOI
The Origin of Selectivity in the Complexation of N-Methyl Amino Acids by Tetraphosphonate Cavitands
Roberta Pinalli,Giovanna Brancatelli,Alessandro Pedrini,Daniela Menozzi,Daniel Hernández,Pablo Ballester,Silvano Geremia,Enrico Dalcanale +7 more
TL;DR: The pivotal role played by cation-π interactions is demonstrated by the linear correlation found between the log Ka in methanol solution and the depth of (+)N-CH3 cavity inclusion in the molecular structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorinated porous organic frameworks for improved CO2 and CH4 capture.
Angiolina Comotti,F Castiglioni,Silvia Bracco,J Perego,Alessandro Pedrini,M Negroni,Piero Sozzani +6 more
TL;DR: A porous 3D selectively fluorinated framework (F-PAF1), robust yet flexible and with a surface area of 2050 m2 g-1, was synthesised by condensation of an ad hoc prepared fluorinated tetraphenylmethane (TPM) monomer to ensure homogenously distributed C-F dipoles in the swellable architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Gas Sensing with Cavitands.
TL;DR: This minireview summarizes the strategies in environmental gas and vapor sensing using molecular receptors as selective hosts for specific analytes, with the main focus on cavitands and highlights the use of these macrocycles as selective preconcentrator units to be integrated into portable devices for environmental monitoring.
