• -n-butylammonium salts (TBAX: F, Cl, Br, I, CN). Exclusively cyanide and fluoride anions lead to a naked-eye effect due to a change of the solution’s colour from yellow-orange to pale yellow (Figure 5). At the same time, a new fluorescence band appears at 420–440 nm. The Stokes shifts of fluorescence

• were isolated preparatively and fully characterized by IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as HRMS and XRD methods. The reverse thermal reaction was catalyzed by protonic acids. N-Acylated compounds exclusively with Fe2+ formed nonfluorescent complexes with a contrast naked-eye effect: a color

Selectively, Fe2+ caused an appearance of new broad long-wavelength absorption bands at 480−530 nm with a contrast naked-eye effect: a visually distinguishable color change of the solutions from yellow to dark orange.
