Absolute 18-crown-6 (18C6) binding affinities of four protonated acetylated amino acids (AcAAs) are determined using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry techniques. The AcAAs examined in this work include: N-terminal acetylated lysine (N(α)-AcLys), histidine (N(α)-AcHis), and arginine (N(α)-AcArg) as well

Addition of potassium superoxide with 18-crown-6 ether (KO(2)(•-)-18-crown-6) to a toluene solution of an acridinium ion-linked porphyrin triad (Acr(+)-H(2)P-Acr(+)) resulted in a remarkable enhancement of the fluorescence intensity. Thus, Acr(+)-H(2)P-Acr(+) acts as an efficient fluorescence sensor for superoxide. Electron transfer
