Pillar[5]arene-based [1]rotaxanes with salicylaldimine as the stopper: synthesis, characterization and application in the fluorescence turn-on sensing of Zn2+ in water

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Aug 9;58(64):8978-8981. doi: 10.1039/d2cc02893j.

Abstract

Two pillar[5]arene-based [1]rotaxanes with salicylaldimine as the stopper were synthesized and characterized fully, and could be further applied in the fluorescence turn-on sensing of Zn2+ in water.
