New dicyanovinyl-substituted 1-(alkyl)aryl-2-(2'-thienyl) pyrroles 2 were synthesized and characterized. The solvatochromic behavior of the synthesized compounds was investigated. All the derivatives showed reversible oxidation and reduction on the CV time scale. The hyperpolarizabilities (beta) of compounds 2&#...

A new simple and easy-to-prepare imidazole-based probe 1 was synthesized and used to detect Cu(II) and biothiols (Cys, Hcy and GSH) in aqueous environments. Addition of increasing amounts of Cu(II) to water (pH 7.4)-acetonitrile 90:10 v/v solutions of probe 1 induced the apperance&...

The synthesis of new fluorescent probes containing the thiophene and benzoxazole moieties combined with an alanine residue is described. The resulting highly fluorescent heterocyclic alanine derivatives respond via a quenching effect, with paramagnetic Cu(II) and Ni(II) metal ions and with diamag...
