1, 8-Naphthalimide, as one of the classical dyes and fluorophores, has been widely used in the analytical chemistry, material chemistry and biochemistry field because of its excellent characteristics photostability, good...

A supramolecular-gel-based twenty-two-member sensor array has been created by introducing well-designed multi-competitive binding interactions into a supramolecular gel.

A novel anion sensor array based on supramolecular metallogels has been developed. It could accurately identify CN(-), SCN(-), S(2-) and I(-) in water. Interestingly, this sensor array is based on a novel design approach termed "competitive coordination control AIE mode" to develop anion-responsive gels which need only one synthesized gelator G1.
