Abstract
New macrocyclic ditopic anthracenyl receptors display largechelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effects upon the addition of linear dications+NH3(CH2)nNH3 +. The amplitude of the effect, which is dependent on the chain length,was at a maximum for propylenediammonium cation. This 1,8-bisazacrown anthracene displaysdifferent binding affinities toward metal ions compared to those of 9-azacrown anthracene.
