We report a strategy for the realization of NMR chemosensors based on the spontaneous self-assembly of lower rim pyridiniumfunctionalized tetraphopshonate cavitands on commercial silica nanoparticles. These nanohybrids enable the selective detection of physiologically relevant N-methylated amines, with a limit of detection of 31 mM, via STD-based NMR experiments, achieving for the first time fine structural selectivity in nanoparticle-assisted NMR chemosensing.

Abstract
We report a strategy for the realization of NMR chemosensors based on the spontaneous self-assembly of lower rim pyridiniumfunctionalized tetraphopshonate cavitands on commercial silica nanoparticles. These nanohybrids enable the selective detection of physiologically relevant N-methylated amines, with a limit of detection of 31 mM, via STD-based NMR experiments, achieving for the first time fine structural selectivity in nanoparticle-assisted NMR chemosensing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
