Abstract:
The design of environmentally friendly methods for synthesizing molecular receptors is an expanding area within applied organic chemistry. This work systematically summarizes advances in the mechanochemical synthesis of molecular chemoreceptors. It discusses key achievements related to the synthesis of chemoreceptors containing azine, Schiff base, thiosemicarbazone, hydrazone, rhodamine 6G, imide, or amide moieties. Additionally, it highlights the application potential of mechanochemically synthesized molecular chemoreceptors in the recognition of ions and small molecules, along with a discussion of the mechanisms of detection processes.

Similar to cross-metathesis, ADMET also involves the formation of metallacyclobutane intermediate by [2+2] cycloaddition of one of the double bonds of a terminal diene with...
01:26Chemical Synapses
Because chemical synapses depend on the release of neurotransmitter molecules from synaptic vesicles to pass on their signal, there is an approximately one millisecond delay between when the axon potential reaches the presynaptic terminal and when the neurotransmitter leads to opening of postsynaptic ion channels. Additionally, this signaling is...
