Abstract
Synthesis and binding studies of a new calixarene-based fluoroionophore were made. Calix[4]azacrown having an anthracenyl unit displayed large chelation-enhanced fluorescence effects with Cs +, Rb +, and K + over other metal ion tested. Interesting "molecular taekwondo" processes between Cs +-Cu 2+ and Cs +-Ag + pairs were monitored via fluorescent changes.
