Recent studies have shown that abnormally high levels of formaldehyde may result in cognitive decline and spatial memory deficits, asthmatic symptoms,Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. Due to the harmfulness of high levels of formaldehyde in nature and humans, it is of great significance to further elucidate the roles and functions of formaldehyde by a noninvasive detection approach. Fluorescence imaging has become a powerful and popular tool in monitoring bio-species owing to their high sensitivity and selectivity, excellent spatiotemporal resolution and non-invasion nature. Therefore, fluorescent probes are widely applied to track and detect formaldehyde in vitro and in vivo which have attracted more and more interest recently. This review focuses on various strategies to design the fluorescent probes for detecting formaldehyde based on different recognition groups.展开更多

Two ammoniums located on the linear component served as template for cucurbit[6]uril to form the CB-based pseudo[2]rotacane while another one located on the macrocyclic component played a role of template for clipping reaction. As a result of a ''threading-followed-by-clipping'' approach, a novel hetero pseudo[2]rota[2]catenane was successfully constructed.展开更多
