A fluorescent calix[4]arene triazole-linked pyrene (CP) was carefully designed and synthesized via click chemistry. The modification of CP with graphene oxide (GO) by a simple non-covalent interaction strategy is presented. Further inspection by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals that the CP-GO could exhibit a very high supramolecular recognition for carbaryl, in particular in serum...

Atomic force microscopy reveals that Pseudomonas aeruginosa LecA (PA-IL) and a tetra-galactosylated 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene-based glycocluster self-assemble according to an aggregative chelate binding mode to create monodimensional filaments. Lectin oligomers are identified along the filaments and defects in chelate binding generate branches and bifurcations. A molecular model with alternat...
