Novel integrated sensing system of calixarene and rhodamine molecules for selective colorimetric and fluorometric detection of Hg2+ ions in living cells

A novel approach to construct a calix[4]arene-appended rhodamine B-based supramolecular system for nematic mesophase and nematode cell imaging

“…The delocalized electronic systems formed by the functionalized calixarene cavity, with the substitution of electron-deficient rhodamine B moieties on the lower rim position, contributed to the occurrence of π–π* and n–π* transitions within the molecular system. 65 As a result, these transitions have an influence on the optical properties of the material. Furthermore, it was observed that the absorption and emission wavelengths, along with the intensity behavior, of the thin film state for all the compounds were slightly lower compared to the solution state.…”

A summary of calixarene-based fluorescent sensors developed during the past five years

“…4) was reported by Yilmaz and co-workers. 31 Compared to 7 , 8 was modified by four rhodamine units at the upper rim of calixarene skeleton, exhibiting considerably better and larger emission response and a chromogenic change from colorless to pale pink upon addition of Hg 2+ ions. In addition, biological experiments showed that Hg 2+ ions in living cells could be easily stained and monitored by chemosensor 8 without any damage to cell lines.…”

In silico exploration of O-H…X2+ (X = Cu, Ag, Hg) interaction, targeted adsorption zone, charge density iso-surface, O-H proton analysis and topographic parameters theory for calix[6]arene and calix[8]arene as model

“…Even in literature, it is found that the majority of experimental work has generated almost all physical-chemical studies of the CX [6,8] synthesized molecules since several years ago instead of testing other conformations of these materials, However, there is not much effort to use other conformations of the same family [17][18][19][20]. A look at the most of the work concerning to the interaction of the calix [6,8]arene molecule with the cation or anion in the last twenty years has been described [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”
