摘要
A new bis-pyridinium calix[4] pyrrole derivative is reported. This system forms a non-fluorescent complex upon exposure to the chromenolate anion. The resulting supramolecular ensemble binds the pyrophosphate anion with high affinity (K-a (2.55 +/- 0.12) x 10(7) M-1) in acetonitrile. It exhibits sensitive %26quot;turn-on%26quot; fluorescence when exposed to tetrabutylammonium pyrophosphate, and does so in preference to other anions, including the fluoride and phosphate anions.
