Abstract

Recently, considerable attention has been focused on the design of receptors and sensors that have the ability to bind and sense biologically important anions selectively through electrochemical and optical responses.[1] Anions such as pyrophosphate (P2O7 4À, PPi) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) play an important role in energy transduction in organisms and control metabolic processes by participation in enzymatic reactions.[2, 3] ...
