AI Article Synopsis

  • A new type of anion transporter has been created using squaramide compounds combined with a fluorescent 1,8-naphthalimide group.
  • This combination aims to enhance the ability of the transporter to move ions across cell membranes (ionophoric activity).
  • The fluorescent properties allow for better imaging of these transporters in living cells, enabling researchers to visualize their function.

Article Abstract

A series of squaramide-based anion transporters functionalised with the 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore has been developed for improved ionophoric activity and fluorescent imaging in cells.
