Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent sensing of pyrophosphate and bis-carboxylates with charge neutral PET chemosensors.
TL;DR: The fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer chemosensors 2 and 3 were designed for the recognition of anions possessing two binding sides such as dicarboxylates and pyrophosphate; the anion recognition in DMSO takes place through the two charge neutral thiourea receptor sites with concomitant PET quenching of the anthracene moiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrate Recognition through Noncovalent Interactions: A Challenge for Biomimetic and Supramolecular Chemistry
TL;DR: The complex of an octaamide supramolecular receptor with beta-D-glucopyranose, which binds through apolar and polar contacts, is shown and presents challenges which will occupy synthetic and theoretical chemists for some time to come.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of synthetic membrane transporters for anions
TL;DR: This tutorial review is on synthetic chloride transport systems that operate in vesicle and cell membranes that have applications as reagents for cell biology research and as potential chemotherapeutic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
A synthetic lectin analog for biomimetic disaccharide recognition.
TL;DR: This work has developed a rational strategy for the biomimetic recognition of carbohydrates with all-equatorial stereochemistry (β-glucose, analogs, and homologs) and applied it to disaccharides such as cellobiose, showing good affinities and selectivity for the target substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensing of anions using charge neutral chemosensors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the charge neutral anthracene based fluorescent sensors 1a−c, having an aromatic or aliphatic thiourea moiety as an anion receptor, show ideal PET sensor behavior where the anthracenes fluorescence emission is selectively quenched upon titration with AcO−, H2PO4− and F− but not by Cl− and Br− in DMSO.
