Oxp-MN (1) acts as a multifunctional sensor for the simultaneous colorimetric detection of picric acid (PA) among other nitroaromatics, F⁻ and CN⁻ ions when “hidden” within a mixture of other anions under unrestricted queue assay.

The selective detection of Al³⁺ and picric acid in water has been realized by means of a fluorescence spectroscopy-based chemosensor.

Here we are reporting the identification and capturing of an ion-pair, Zn^II–AcO⁻, in differential ionic crowd with high-fidelity and extreme selectivity, employing a synthesized receptor molecule, HBP.

The quest for lead-free light-absorbing perovskite materials has long been the target of researchers to make the ‘star’ material friendly to the commercial market.

Trends in the performance data of [Cu(N^N)(P^P)]⁺-based LECs in which N^N ligands bear peripheral F, Cl, Br or I substituents reveal that fluoro-groups are beneficial, but heavier halo-substituents lead to poor devices.
