  • Patent number: 7132294
    Abstract: The invention provides a device for selective molecular recognition, the device comprising a sensing portion, wherein said sensing portion includes a substrate having coated thereon a layer comprising a non-volatile, small molecule compound having at least two pendant and terminal unsaturated groups, each being functionalized with at least one halogen substituted alcohol or phenol functional group. The compound of the invention preferably has one of the following general formulae: wherein A is a core moiety; B is a pendant and terminal unsaturated group; q is at least 1; r is at least 2; X is a linking group; and n is an integer designating the number of repeating units from 1 to 3, with the proviso that, if n is greater than 1, then the B groups differ from each other in at least two of the repeating units. The device is used to detect the molecules of a hydrogen bond accepting vapor such as an organophosphonate or nitroaromatic vapor.

  • Patent number: 6828439
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel compounds, compositions, and methods that are particularly useful in photodynamic therapy. In particular, the inventive compounds, compositions, and methods relate to the formation of cytotoxic radical species in the presence of light. Significantly, the compounds, compositions, and methods of the present invention do not require the presence of oxygen in the photodynamic therapy and, as such, rely on a unimolecular mechanism for producing the radicals. The inventive compounds, compositions, and methods can be used, for example, in the treatment of cancers as well as infections caused by microorganisms such as protozoa, fungi, bacteria, and viruses.
