A simple pyridinium-based tripodal chemosensor, 1, effectively recognizes AMP over ATP and ADP through indicator displacement assay (IDA) technique in water at pH 6.4. The good recognition of 1 is due to the better accommodation of AMP at the core of 1 as well as functional interaction involving hydrogen bonding and charge-charge interaction. The sensor 1 also recognizes intracellular AMP.
7-Azaindole has been used in designing new molecular structure 1 on enediyne spacer for its application in anion sensing. New structure 1 has been established as efficient fluorescent sensor of H 2 PO 4 − and F − ions in CH 3 CN containing 1% DMSO. While in presence of H 2 PO 4 − the emission at 418 nm is decreased to the significant extent in nonratiometric fashion, a ratiometric response in presence of F − is noted with a sharp isoemissive point and two anions are effectively distinguished over a series of other anions tested. A similar study on model compound 2 with indole motifs is done to prove the pivotal role of extra ring nitrogen in azaindole of 1 in the binding process.
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.
