Abstract
Early diagnosis and treatment of cancer requires the development of tools that are both sensitive and selective in detecting spermine.In this study,we presented a"supramolecular cyclization-induced emis-sion enhancement"strategy for the sensitive and selective detection of spermine.A new pillar[5]arene probe(P1)demonstrated excellent solution/solid dual-state emission properties,and the addition of cer-tain spermine(Spm)resulted in fluorescence enhancement due to the synergy of multiple weak inter-actions that restricted the free motion of P1 in the P1⊃Spm complex.This mechanism was further con-firmed by time-resolved spectroscopy,DFT calculations,and IGM analysis.With its low limit of detection and high selectivity,P1 is a promising tool for measuring spermine in artificial urine samples.
