Abstract
Two simple chemosensors with urea (L1) and thiourea (L2) groups were synthesized and studied by different spectroscopic techniques. Both receptors can sense acetate (Ac-), dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4 -), and fluoride (F-) anions, accompanied by changes in UV-vis and 1H NMR spectra, and an optical response is observed as a color change of the solutions due to deprotonation and hydrogen-bonding processes. Also, L1 and L2 were supported on TentaGel resins (R1 and R2), and their fluoride-sensing properties in DMSO and water solutions were studied. Interestingly, R2 can sense fluoride ions in sample solutions of 100% water.

Abstract
Dual-emissive tetraphenylethene (TPE) and pyrene-containing amphiphilic molecules are of great interest because they can be integrated to form stimuli responsive materials with various biological applications. Herein, we report the study of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) with aggregation-induced static excimer emission (AISEE) property through a series of TPE and pyrene-based amphiphilic [2]rotaxanes, where t-butylcalix[4]arene with hydrophobic nature was used as the macrocycle. Evidently, by adorning TPE and pyrene units in [2]rotaxanes P1, P2, P1-b, and P2-b, they display remarkable emission bands in 70% of water fraction (fw) in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/water mixture, which could be attributed to the restricted intramolecular rotation of phenyl groups, whereas prominent blue-shifted excimer emission of pyrene started to appear as fw reached 80% for P1 and 90% for P1-b, P2, and P2-b, which was ascribed to the favorable π-π stacking and hydrophobic interactions of the pyrene rings that enabled their static excimer formation. The well-defined distinct amphiphilic nanostructures of [2]rotaxanes including hollowspheres, mesoporous nanostructures, spheres, and network linkages can be driven smoothly depending on the molecular structures and their aggregated states in THF/water mixture. These fascinating diversiform nanostructures were mainly controlled by the skillful manner of reversible molecular shuttling of t-butylcalix[4]arene macrocycle and also the interplay of multinoncovalent interactions. To further understand the aggregation capabilities of [2]rotaxanes, the human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) living cell incubated with either P1, P2, P1-b, or P2-b was studied and monitored by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The AISEE property was achieved at an astonishing level by integrating TPE and pyrene to MIM-based reversible molecular switching [2]rotaxanes; furthermore, distinct nanostructures, especially hollowspheres and mesoporous nanostructures, were observed, which are rarely reported in the literature but are highly desirable for future applications.

Abstract
Functionalized metal-organic frameworks (F-MOFs) are known as a promising chemical sensors since they have specific merits like fixed functionalized ligands projecting into the pores which can be utilized to enhance sensitivity and selectivity. Due to the important role of anions in biological process and environmental systems, there is an increasing interest in synthesis and design of new receptors for anions. Urea groups can operate as a hydrogen bond donating site with hydrogen bond acceptor molecules. Strong and directional hydrogen-bonding between the positive urea groups and anions could reduce vibrational quenching and enhance the fluorescence intensity. In this study, two luminescent porous urea decorated MOFs have been successfully assembled and structurally characterized. Luminescence studies of these MOFs toward anions revealed that these F-MOFs exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity toward H2AsO4- and F- anions as two major ground water pollutants. Moreover, the proposed materials have been applied for the removal of arsenate and nitrate in contaminant well water samples. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Neutral hosts for the recognition of anionic guests in water remain underdeveloped due to the inherent thermodynamic barrier for desolvation. To address this challenge, we have repurposed crosslinked porous organic polymers (POPs) as hosts. This polymer architecture affords a hydrophobic environment with a densely packed array of urea hydrogen bond donors to cooperatively promote anion desolvation and recognition in water. Using the principles of supramolecular design, we demonstrate through adsorption assays that the resulting Urea-POP-1 can recognize structurally different dyes containing phosphonate, sulfonate, and carboxylate anions in water. Moreover, when compared to Methyl-POP-1, a control POP lacking hydrogen bond donors, we find that the driving force for desolvation and adsorption of each dye is achieved through hydrophobic interactions with the POP backbone and, more importantly, cooperative hydrogen bonding interactions with the urea sidechains. This starting point sets the stage to exploit the modularity of our design to build a family of neutral polymer hosts with tunable pore sizes and anion preferences for fundamental investigations and targeted applications.
