Supramolecular assemblies derived from methyl-substituted cucurbit[5]uril and lanthanide nitrates (2024)
Journal Article
Yuan, S. W., Dai, X., Lu, J. H., Ma, P. H., Dalgarno, S. J., Redshaw, C., Tao, Z., & Xiao, X. (2024). Supramolecular assemblies derived from methyl-substituted cucurbit[5]uril and lanthanide nitrates. Heliyon, 10(13), Article e32936. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32936

Interaction of the lanthanide nitrates M(NO3)3 (M = Gd, Eu) with methylcucurbit[5]uril (Me10Q[5]) in the presence of transition metal chlorides (ZnCl2 and FeCl3) in acidic media resulted in the isolation of the complexes [Me10Q[5]Gd(H2O)2Cl Gd(H2O)6]...

Double-cavity cucurbiturils: synthesis, structures, properties, and applications (2024)
Journal Article
Li, Q., Yu, Z., Redshaw, C., Xiao, X., & Tao, Z. (2024). Double-cavity cucurbiturils: synthesis, structures, properties, and applications. Chemical Society Reviews, https://doi.org/10.1039/d3cs00961k

Double-cavity Q[n]s are relatively new members of the Q[n] family and have garnered significant interest due to their distinctive structures and novel properties. While they incorporate n glycoluril units, akin to their single-cavity counterparts, th... Read More about Double-cavity cucurbiturils: synthesis, structures, properties, and applications.

Detection of basic amino acids under highly alkaline conditions using a perylene amine-derived probe (2024)
Journal Article
Zhang, T. T., Lu, Y., Lu, J. H., Zhao, A. T., Redshaw, C., & Xiao, X. (2024). Detection of basic amino acids under highly alkaline conditions using a perylene amine-derived probe. Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 309, Article 123835. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.saa.2024.123835

pH plays a crucial part in numerous chemical and physiological processes. In this work, a new perylene diimide derivative that acts as a pH-sensitive dye with Bay Area Carboxylic Acid functionality. The derivative utilizes the outstanding thermal, ch... Read More about Detection of basic amino acids under highly alkaline conditions using a perylene amine-derived probe.

Selective detection of paraquat by a cucurbit[7]uril-based fluorescent probe (2024)
Journal Article
Shan, P. H., Pan, D. W., Li, C. R., Meng, T. H., Redshaw, C., Tao, Z., & Xiao, X. (2024). Selective detection of paraquat by a cucurbit[7]uril-based fluorescent probe. Journal of Pesticide Science, 49(2), 114-121. https://doi.org/10.1584/JPESTICS.D23-062

A simple fluorescent “on-off” system that can be utilized for the selective identification and determination of paraquat (PQ) is presented herein. 1H NMR spectroscopic data indicated that in aqueous solution the alkaloid palmatine can be partially en...
