Lumophore-spacer-receptor systems cations

Lumophore-spacer-receptor systems are not by any means limited to the ami-noalkyl aromatic family even if we focus on the receptor unit. Still, the latter family is likely to remain a major provider of ionically switchable luminescent devices. Aminoalkyl aromatics also serve as the platform for the development of luminescent PET sensors for a whole class of nonionic saccharides. While aliphatic amines, either singly or in arrays, can serve as receptors for a variety of cationic...
