Non-covalent chemosensing ensembles of cucurbit[n]urils (CBn) have been widely used in proof-of-concept sensing applications, but they are prone to disintegrate in saline media, e.g. biological fluids. We show here that...
Achiral chromophoric tweezer-shaped molecular hosts were found to respond with characteristic Circular Dichroism spectra to the presence of micromolar concentrations of chiral hydrocarbons, terpenes, steroids, amino acids and drugs in water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
