TL;DR: Anion-induced lifetime quenching and/or enhancement make the receptors suitable lifetime-based sensors for selective anions, and Cyclic voltammetric measurements of the compounds carried out in acetonitrile have provided evidence in favor of anion-dependent electrochemical responses with F(-) and AcO(-) ions.

TL;DR: The cation-sensing properties showed that the receptor was found to exhibit a colorimetric sensing ability that was highly selective for Fe(2+), as evidenced by the distinct color change from yellow orange to deep red-violet to the naked eye over the other cations studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, a heteroditopic polypyridyl-imidazole system with terpyridine moiety as the cation binding site and imidazoles motif as the anion binding site is presented.

TL;DR: Experimental results coupled with computational studies were utilized to investigate the structural and electronic properties of mixed-ligand monometallic osmium(II) complexes, which showed that compound 1(+) crystallizes in a monoclinic form with the space group P2(1)/c, while 1 is obtained in a triclinicform with thespace group P1[combining macron].

TL;DR: The photophysical properties of 1 and 2 in acetonitrile indicate that the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited state is mainly centered in the [M(bpy)2](2+) moiety of the complexes and slightly affected by the extended conjugation of the pyrenylimidazole moiety.
