Supramolecular analytical chemistry has emerged as a new discipline at the interface of supramolecular and analytical chemistry. It focuses on analytical applications of molecular recognition and self-assembly. One of the important outcomes of the supramolecular analytical chemistry is the understanding of molecular aspects of sensor design, synthesis and binding studies of sensors while using rigorous methods of analytical chemistry as a touchstone to verify the viability of the supramolecular aspects of the sensor design. This critical review provides a simplified version of the chemometric procedures involved in realizing a successful analytical experiment that utilizes cross-reactive optical sensor arrays, and summarizes …


The Power Of The Weak: Recognition Of Ion Pairs In Water Using A Simple Array Sensor, Yuan-Li Liu, Manuel A. Palacios, Pavel Anzenbacher Feb 2010

An array sensor comprising six off-the-shelf indicators doped in a poly(ether-urethane) recognizes five cations, seven anions and thirty-five ion pairs at pH 5-9 in water. Such a discrimination capacity and recognition efficiency (6:35) with >= 93% accuracy is rare. Low cost and wide availability of various polymers and indicators could make this approach useful in numerous applications.

Non-covalent interactions between filler particles and polyurethanes were investigated using fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The results were used in the analysis of shape memory (SM) performance of polyurethanes. Composites of shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) and carbon nanofiber (CNF), oxidized carbon nanofiber (ox-CNF), organoclay, silicon carbide, and carbon black were prepared from diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 1,4-butanediol, and poly(caprolactone) diol. It was revealed by fluorescence emission spectroscopy that primarily the urethane groups located in the hard segments of SMPU interacted with the polar functional groups on filler particles. A close correlation between the extent of non-covalent filler-matrix interactions, soft segment crystallinity, and SM properties …
