Harnessing non-covalent interactions in modified thiophenes: structural design and applications in materials and biological sciences Thiophene, a ubiquitous and versatile heterocyclic compound, serves as a cornerstone for modern material sciences due to its distinctive electronic properties and ability to engage in non-covalent interactions, such as π⋯π stacking and chalcogen bonding.

Water-Soluble Conjugated Polyelectrolyte for Selective and Sensitive Detection of Carcinogenic Chromium(VI) Environmental water pollution caused by hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a threat to living beings due to its carcino-genic nature. Herein we report the synthesis of a highly fluorescent water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolyte PPMI and its application as a fluorescent sensor to monitor traces of carcinogenic Cr(VI) ions in water.

Introduction In recent years, research and development on sensing of explosives has gained tremendous attention.(1) 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a well-known nitroaromatic compound (NAC) belonging to a secondary class of explosives.(2) Due to its relatively high solubility in water, i.e., 130 mg/L at 20 °C, and its wide use in military operation, land mines, terrorism, and industrial applications, it contaminates land, agricultural soil, and water reservoirs and enters into the food...
