Abstract

•The supramolecular analytical potential of water soluble pillararenes was further examined.•The complexation of Dapoxyl sodium sulfonate was investigated with ammonium pillar[6]arene.•The recognition of ATP was exploited in the first indicator displacement system for nucleotides based on a pillararene.•An order of magnitude of selectivity over ADP and GTP was achieved in this model system.

The complexation of the cationic, water soluble ammonium pillar[6]arene was investigated with Dapoxyl sodium sulfonate. Large fluorescence enhancement was observed upon partial inclusion and the resulting complex was used as the first pillararene-based indicator displacement system for the selective recognition of adenosine-5′-triphosphate.
