The encapsulation study was done by utilising hydrophobic pyrene dye using U.V. technique. The encapsulation efficiency of the non-ionic amphiphiles was obtained at neutral p.H. and at room temperature (p.H. 7.0 & 28 °C). The G.3 dendron-based non-ionic oleic (C18-cis)-amphiphile was found to have the 78.2% encapsulation efficiency. Studies show that the amide-linked G.1 dendron-based non-ionic (C18-cis) amphiphiles have sustained dye release percentage of 78.00% at p.H. 6.2 and 26.19% at p.H. 7.0 in 72 h at 37 °C. The in vitro cyto-toxicological studies showed that after 24–48 h treatment, the G.1 amide amphiphiles exhibit more than 80% of cell viability for concentration as high as 31.25 μg/mL. The cellular uptake was demonstrated using Coumarin 6. The integrated amphiphiles are biocompatible and can be used in the biomedical field as medication encapsulation and target drug delivery.

Results of the energy analysis reveal that, in comparison to gas phase and chloroform, the Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and internal thermal energy become more positive in the presence of water and ethanol solvents, confirming the negative effect of solvent polarity on enantiomer separation. It should also be noted that the presence of carbon-chain lengths greater than 3 atoms in organic reagents is not suitable for enantiomer separation and conglomerate crystal formation. .

The selectivity of sensor 1 with various anions (F−, Cl−, Br−, CH3COO−, C6H5COO− and H2PO4 −) in DMSO was evaluated by 1H NMR, UV-visible and fluorescence study. For 1H NMR, an amide proton of sensor 1 disappeared due to the deprotonation reaction upon addition of F− ion. On the contrary, the proton signal of HF2 − emerged at 16.11 ppm. Upon addition of F− ion, sensor 1 showed a new absorption band at 300 nm and the solution turned colourless. For fluorescence response, sensor 1 exhibited the enhancement of emission intensity at 434 nm with slight blue shift when titrated with F− ion.

Here we report the synthesis and structural characterisation of quinoxaline-based cavitand baskets, which present two distal quinoxaline walls linked together. Baskets A and B were obtained through a bridging reaction starting from an AC di-quinoxaline bridged cavitand using two different di-quinoxaline moieties. In both cases, two isomers were obtained: isomer C2, with the linking unit crossing the cavity mouth, and isomer Cs, having the linker sideways. The isomers were identified through 1H NMR analysis. In the case of basket A-Cs, the resolved molecular structure confirmed the Cs symmetry of the basket.

Each calixarene type acts as an independent molecular glue that mediates cytc dimers within the crystal. The calixarene-mediated dimers combine to yield chains of cytc-sclx8 -cytc-pclx6-pclx6 repeating units. These supramolecular copolymer units pack together, via a protein-protein interface, to yield a porous dendrite-like assembly. Interestingly, the tri-component framework has features in common with previously reported structures of cytc in complex with pclx6 or sclx8 . Known protein-calixarene ‘building blocks’ combine in novel ways to yield the tri-component assembly, highlighting the versatility of calixarene molecular glues in protein crystal engineering.

Pristine BC3 is determined to have a notable trend towards the megazol molecules. For the most stable configuration, the adsorption energy is approximately −20.7 kcal/mol. Megazol adsorption makes a noticeable decrease in the gap of HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) -LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) BC3 nanosheets (from 1.45 to 0.75 V), thereby enhancing the electrical conductivity, which means the BC3 can be a proper choice for megazol detection and electronic sensor applications. Additionally, megazol adsorption has affected the work function of BC3, which remarkably shifts the current of field electron emission from its level, suggesting it for detecting megazol as a function-based sensor. Also, BC3 has the benefit of a short recovery time of approximately 7.72 ms for megazol desorption.
