Abstract

This article briefly reviews our recent achievement in developing synthetic chromogenic receptors which are characterized by combining ”recognition“ and ”optical sensing“ functions; synthesis of several kinds of azomethine-derived calixarenes is described, as well as some colorimetric recognizing behavior for chemically or biologically significant guests ranging from cations to chiral amine derivatives.
