چکیده

This study reveals the intriguing modulations in the photophysics of quinizarin (QZ) on its interaction with p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SCX4) and p-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SCX6) hosts. While the SCX6-QZ system shows the usual reduction in both fluorescence intensity and lifetime, the SCX4-QZ system shows a contrasting effect of enhancement in the fluorescence intensity and reduction in the fluorescence lifetime. Such a contrasting effect is not only unusual but also observed for the first time for any host-guest system. The observed results are justifiably correlated with the changes in both radiative and nonradiative decay rate constants for the SCX4-QZ system.

Binding of inorganic cations by p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene monitored through competitive fluorophore displacement in aqueous solution.

A new working principle for detecting inorganic cation binding by water-soluble calix[4]arenes involves the displacement of a fluorescent azoalkane as guest. Fluorescence regeneration is observed for various metal ions, and binding of monovalent cations (alkali and ammonium) to p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene is detected and quantified for the first time.
