A metallo-supramolecular approach to a half-subtractor
Miguel Vázquez López, M. Eugenio Vázquez, Clara Gómez-Reino, Rosa Pedrido and Manuel R. Bermejo,
New J. Chem., 2008, 32, 1473
DOI: 10.1039/b808888h
The tetraamine dinucleating ligand L, which bears naphthalene moieties at both ends, behaves as a combinatorial logic circuit for a molecular half-subtractor in the presence of ZnII ions. The mechanism for this device is based on the assembly of 1 : 1 ZnII– L metallo-supramolecular adducts with fluorescent excimer emission properties.

Ralf Lungwitz, Manfred Friedrich, Wolfgang Linert and Stefan Spange,
New J. Chem., 2008, 32, 1493
DOI: 10.1039/b805932b
Improved hydrogen bond donor (HBD) strength parameters of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been determined using Fe(phen)2(CN)2 as a solvatochromic UV/Vis probe, which results from dissolution of [Fe(phen)2(CN)2]ClO4.
Fluorescent signaling provides deeper insight into aromatic anion uptake by metal-ion activated molecular receptors
Adam J. Bradbury, Stephen F. Lincoln and Kevin P. Wainwright,
New J. Chem., 2008, 32, 1500
DOI: 10.1039/b719183a
Fluorescent signaling of aromatic anion uptake by the metal-ion activated molecular receptor (blue) indicates greatly enhanced binding strength when classical hydrogen bonding is augmented by non-classical hydrogen bonding. Thus, salicylate (log K = 7.1), for example, is much more strongly included than benzoate (log K = 2.3).
