Expanded calixpyrrole-type macrocycles, calix[2]benzo[4]pyrroles, bearing fluorescent moieties attached via conjugated vinyl spacers, have been synthesized from the corresponding formyl derivatives through Knoevenagel condensation. The anion-binding properties of the resulting fluorescent macrocycles have been studied by means of NMR, UV/Vis, and fluorescence spectroscopies. Our main focus has been on dicarboxylates matching the size of the binding cavity of the calix[2]benzo[4]pyrrole skeleton. The observed anion-binding properties were compared with those of the regular calix[4]pyrroles bearing identical fluorophores. Surprisingly, the parent calix[4]pyrroles appear to be equally efficient, if not more so, for sensing anions such as dicarboxylates. Affinity constants determined for various anions and dianions show the sensors S1–S5 to be highly cross-reactive. The cross-reactivity of the sensors was utilized in a microchip-based array, which showed perfect (100 %) classification of 18 analytes utilizing only five sensors. Finally, the same array was used to quantitatively analyze dicarboxylates such as oxalate and malonate. The data from the array were subjected to linear regression, allowing the determination of various concentrations of dianions with low error (2 %).

A supramolecular sensor array consisting of eight chemosensors embedded in a hydrogel matrix was used to sense carboxylate drugs. The discriminatory power of the array has been evaluated using principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis. The eight-member sensor array has been shown to accurately identify 14 carboxylates in water with 100% classification accuracy. To demonstrate the potential for practical utility in the physiological environment, analysis of carboxylate drugs in human urine was also performed achieving 100% correct classification. In addition, the array performance in semiquantitative identification of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been investigated, and the results show that the sensor array is able to differentiate six typical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at concentrations of 0.5-100 ppm. This illustrates the potential utility of the designed sensor array for diagnostic and environmental monitoring applications.
