The synthesis, characterization and ion binding properties of a new ditopic ratiometric receptor (1), based on 2-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol and crown ether moieties, have been described. The ditopic ratiometric receptor has been studied in sensing both F(-) and Zn(2+) ions, exhibiting different fluorescent colour changes from cyan green to blue/black observable by the naked eye under UV-light. The addition of Zn(2+) to the solution of 1 induced the formation of a 2 : 2 ligand-metal complex 1-Zn(2+), which displays a remarkable blue shift of the emission maxima of 1 from 455 nm to 400 nm due to the inhibition of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism. The sensing processes were monitored by fluorescence/absorption titrations, and further confirmed by Job's plot and (1)H NMR titrations. The crystal structure of 1-Zn(2+) reveals that 1 binds Zn(2+) in four-coordinated modes. Furthermore, 1 is cell permeable and may be applied to detect trace Zn(2+) and F(-) during the development of a living organism.

A promising naphthalene-functionalized ratiometric chemosensor ()-1-((naphthalen-5-yl) methylene)-2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazine (DNMH) is unveiled in the present work. DNMH demonstrates brisk discernible colorimetric response from yellow to red in the presence of CN, a lethal environmental contaminant, in a near-perfect aqueous medium with a LOD of 278 nM. The "key role marker" controlling the electrochemical and non-covalent H-bonding interaction between DNMH and CN is through the commendable role of acidic -NH functionalities.

A putrescine derivative of aminomethyladamantane is established as a ditopic guest with two mutually exclusive binding sites for cucurbit[6]uril and cucurbit[7]uril. A mixture containing both hosts, the ditopic guest, and two fluorescent dyes affords a relay system with a ratiometric fluorescence response and enables a kinetic analysis of the switching mechanism.

We report a novel ditopic Gd(iii)-based probe selective to zwitterionic amino acid neurotransmitters (ZNTs) crafted for ratiometric MRI imaging. The probe displayed increased binding affinity to ZNTs and non-synchronized concentration-dependent changes of the r1- and r2-relaxivity. Through the application of a T2/T1 weighted MRI strategy, we demonstrated signal enhancement for cooperatively bound glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid ZNTs over competitive hydrogencarbonate, which remained MR silent.

Anthrax spores have been a determining risk to human beings and animals across the world. As such, the qualitative monitoring toward dipicolinic acid (DPA), the unique biomarker of bacillus anthracis, is highly desired and being moved forward in health management. Herein, a breathing zeolite-like supramolecular assembly (ZSA), with the topology and 1D hexagon channel, is designed by controlling the bridging angle of the ditopic ligand after systematic analysis in topology.
