A new Na⁺ sensor based on intramolecular fluorescence energy transfer derived from calix[4]arene

Abstract

A new calix[4]arene having pyrene (as a donor) and anthroyloxy (as an acceptor) moieties at the lower rim has been synthesized as a fluorescent Na⁺ sensor based on intramolecular energy transfer.
