Abstract:
A thiacalix[4]crown based di-topic receptor 3 possessing two types of binding sites viz. crown-5 ring and imino moieties has been synthesized which undergoes fluorescence enhancement in the presence of Zn(2+) ions. The selective binding of Zn(2+) to compound 3 does not allow the K(+) ions to bind with the crown-5 ring and thus a negative allosteric behaviour has been observed between Zn(2+)/K(+) ions. In addition, the 3-Zn(2+) complex can be used for the detection of H2PO4(-) ions with a fluorescence "turn-off" response. Furthermore, based on the fluorescence response, a two input and one output sequential logic circuit has been constructed.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...
