Synthesis of a bile acid-based click-macrocycle and its application in selective recognition of chloride ion.

A novel method for the synthesis of a bile acid-based macrocycle has been developed using click chemistry. The 1,2,3-triazolium derivative of the macrocycle shows remarkable selectivity in binding of chloride ion.

Synthesis of click bile acid polymers and their application in stabilization of silver nanoparticles showing iodide sensing property.

A novel method for the synthesis of bile-acid-based polymers has been developed using click chemistry. These 1,2,3-triazole-containing polymers have been found to stabilize silver nanoparticles that show selective colorimetric sensing for iodide ion.
