Abstract:
A fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensor (3) that consists of 1-aza-18-crown-6 and a 1-naphthyl pendant shows a fluorescent increase with bivalent metal ions and a fluorescent decrease with monovalent metal ions. (1)H and (13)C NMR analyses of this 1:1 complexation behavior revealed that Ba(2+) strongly coordinates with the azacrown nitrogen to cause a dramatic decrease in the intramolecular charge-transfer character. In addition, it was suggested that not only the metal ion-dependent coordinated structure of the resulting complex but also the interaction between the thiocyanate anion and the naphthyl group play a role in controlling the extent of the emission-intensity increase and decrease that was observed in the presence of a given metal salt.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
