The molecular architecture of this phenoxazinone-type sensor molecule combines two potential coordination sites via an amino-keto conjugative backbone. These structural prerequisites allow only the most preferred mercuric ion to bind to the dithia dioxa monoaza crown unit, while other heavy, transition, and main group metal ions as well as protons are trapped at the keto group, inducing opposite spectral effects due to interaction with either the donor (Hg2+) or the acceptor group (other cations) of the probe. Besides these advantageous features, the probe operates well within the visible range of the spectrum and displays rather intense molar absorptivities as well as fluorescence quantum yields.

Acetonitrile solutions of 1-5 show bright yellow colours, due to charge-transfer bands in the 375-400 nm region, slightly modulated by the electron donor strength of the group attached to the 4 end of the 4-nitroazobenzene scaffold. Anions of different shape and size (i.e., spherical F-,Cl-, Br- and I-, planar and tetrahedral oxoanions such as NO3-, H2PO4- and HSO4-, carboxylates such as acetate and benzoate and the linear anions cyanide and thiocyanate) were employed in the recognition studies. Two different effects were distinguished: (i) bathochromic shifts of <40 nm to pale orange, due to anion coordination, and (ii) strong red shifts of ca. 200 nm with a concomitant colour change to blue, due to deprotonation. This behaviour was explained as a balance between the deprotonation tendency of the binding sites in the different receptors and the proton affinities of the anions. Semiempirical calculations were carried out to evaluate the hydrogen bond-donating abilities of the anions and the dyes and a good correlation with the experimentally found values was observed. Stability constants for the receptor-anion complexes were determined spectrophotometrically and the different responses toward fluoride and acetate were assessed by NMR titration experiments. Finally, as a special case, we also report the use of this family of compounds as colorimetric carbon dioxide sensors through reaction with the unprotonated forms of the azo dyes.

Attempts to use the same synthetic procedure on sodium and ammonium Y zeolites were unsuccessful, stressing the importance of the presence of Brønsted acid centres in the Z30 zeolite. The reflectance spectra of Z30-SQ show a maximum in the typical squaraine monomer region at 618 nm and a shoulder at 570 nm. Spectral analyses revealed that the major species are SQ dimers and (tightly adsorbed) SQ monomers and SQ aggregates are only formed to a minor degree. The emission spectrum of Z30-SQ shows a single band at 669 nm. The sensory performance of this material was tested in the presence of volatile propylamine and propylthiol and other volatile organic compounds (acetone, ethanol, dichloromethane, hexane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, ethyl ether and acetic acid). The blue Z30-SQ material reacts with the thiol and amine derivatives, resulting in the bleaching of the solid and disappearance of the absorption band in the visible region, but does not undergo spectroscopic changes in the presence of other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Whereas the reaction with propylamine is irreversible, a partial reversibility was found in the presence of the thiol. Theoretical investigations of the reactivity of I with several VOC molecules at the semi-empirical level reproduced well the experimentally observed reactivity.

Such highly porous or container-like structures, usually prepared from silica and frequently from gold, can incorporate a large number of chemical substances such as drug and/or indicator molecules. When equipped with a chemically or physically addressable gating function at the openings of the voids, the release of the cargo can be controlled at will. Because many more molecules can be stored as cargo in the pores of the support than there are functional groups as anchoring sites for the gating entities attached to the outer surface (for efficient pore capping), the systems possess inherent features of (signal) amplification. The present article will introduce various design strategies for different types of physical (light, temperature, magnetism) and chemical (pH, metal ions, anion, small organic molecules, enzymes) stimuli in connection with drug and indicator release. We will highlight exciting aspects of combining both features in theranostic applications and will stress which requirements still have to be met by many of the systems to be readily applicable in a sensory context.

The reactive BODIPY dye with an optimum positioned hydroxyl group undergoes acylation reactions with phosph(on)ate substrates, yielding a bicyclic ring. Due to aggregation of the dyes in water, the sensitivity of the free dye in solution is very low. Only after immobilization of the BODIPY moieties into the silica substrates is aggregation inhibited and a sensitive determination of the NASs diethyl cyanophosphonate (DCNP), diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) and diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) possible. The signaling mode is a strong quenching of the fluorescence, reaching LODs in the pM range. The best performing hybrid material was singled out from a library of hybrid silicas varying in morphology and surface functionalization. The response to actual CWAs such as GB, GD, and GA has also been tested, offering similar behavior as for the simulants. The proposed reaction mechanism has been verified by investigation of other model materials, containing for instance BODIPY moieties without an optimum hydroxyl group (III) or a BODIPY dye with an all-aliphatic counterpart (IV). The latter can only form a monocyclic reaction product, showing much less reactivity as I. Assays with other possible competitors have been additionally carried out, showing favorably low cross-reactivities. Finally, the determination of NASs in several natural waters has been demonstrated.

As a proof-of-concept, we present here a family of nanoparticles that have been designed to communicate with one another in a hierarchical manner. The concept involves the use of capped mesoporous silica supports in which the messenger delivered by a first type of gated nanoparticle is used to open a second type of nanoparticle, which delivers another messenger that opens a third group of gated nanoobjects. We believe that the conceptual idea that nanodevices can be designed to communicate with one another may result in novel applications and will boost further advances towards cooperative systems with complex behavior as a result of the communication between simple abiotic individual components.

Within the broad field of biomimetic chemistry, this article highlights various attempts toward improved and sophisticated sensory materials that rely on the combination of supramolecular (bio)chemical recognition principles and nanoscopic solid structures. Examples range from more established concepts such as hybrid sensing ensembles with improved sensitivity and selectivity or for target analytes for which selectivity is hard to achieve by conventional methods, which were often inspired by protein binding pockets or ion channels in membranes, to very recent approaches relying on target-gated amplified signalling with functionalised mesoporous inorganic supports and the integration of native biological sensory species such as transmembrane proteins in spherically supported bilayer membranes. Besides obvious mimicry of recognition-based processes, selected approaches toward chemical transduction junctions utilizing artificially organized synapses, hybrid ensembles for improved antibody generation and uniquely colour changing systems are discussed. All of these strategies open up exciting new prospects for the development of sensing concepts and sensory devices at the interface of nanotechnology, smart materials and supramolecular (bio)chemistry.
