✦ Synopsis
Two novel fluorescent chemosensors in which an aza-crown is linked to 4-coumaryl fluorophores by a methylene spacer have been synthesized for sensing saxitoxin. Fluorescence enhancement was observed upon binding of the dicationic toxin molecule, whereas several metal ions produced no effect.

The presence of a coordinating functionality in the sidearm chain provides a means to further tune the selectivity of LCEs.
