Lethal-weapon visualization: A novel triarylmethanol derivative, which is able to colorimetrically distinguish diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP; a mimic of Sarin and Soman) from other nerve-agent simulants, is reported (see ...

A bis(calix[4]pyrrole)-substituted BODIPY ditopic receptor 1 has been synthesised and characterised. The binding and sensing properties of 1 towards several aliphatic and aromatic dicarboxylates have been evaluated by using ...

A heteroditopic BODIPY dye that performs all basic Boolean operations with a cation (K+) and an anion (F-) as inputs and absorption, transmission and fluorescence as outputs is described. The molecular logic gate can also ...

[EN] Two calixpyrrole derivatives were synthesised. A p-dimethylaminobenzoyl group was electronically attached to a pyrrole ring, establishing an intramolecular hydrogen bond in a 1,3-alternate conformation. The formation ...

Two triaryl methane cations have been used as probes for colorimetric detection of nerve agent simulants. Buffered mixed aqueous solutions of 1 and 2 showed bathochromic shifts in the presence of DCNP (diethylcyanophosphonate) ...

A family of triarylcarbinols 1-11 has been synthesised, and the chromogenic behaviour of the members in the presence of nerve-agent simulants diethylcyanophosphonate (DCNP) and diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) in acetonitrile ...
