A new probe ()-7-(diethylamino)-3-(3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)-1-methylquinolin-2-(1)-one () was synthesized and structurally characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and HRMS. was photophysically characterized by employing UV-vis, fluorescence, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with computational methods. This probe was studied as a turn-off fluorescent probe based on a Michael addition mechanism for sensing bisulfite (HSO ), which is favored in the presence of an aqueous micellar solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

The interaction of these derivatives with cucurbit[7]-uril () was explored through combined experimental and approaches, highlighting their unique behavior and practical potential. Experimentally, the complexes exhibited a 1:1 stoichiometry, as confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).

In this work, the dimerization of methylcyclopentadiene (MCPD) isomers in the presence of cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) was found to display, besides a large rate acceleration, a striking regioselectivity in aqueous solution at pH 3, different from the products predominating in the absence of the supramolecular catalyst. Among the different possible regioisomers and diastereomers, the endo-3,7-dimethyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoindene adduct was selectively formed, which is otherwise found only as a minor product in the dimerization of neat MCPD or in commercial dimeric mixtures.
