Description
Anna Palmieri leads a large team reporting in 2026 on a water-loving ring molecule built to trap dye pollutants in water, a growing worry for city groundwater. The host molecule, a prism-shaped ring with sulphate groups at both rims, dissolves in water and grabs two common dyes, rhodamine B and methylene blue, with strong attraction. The team checked the binding with light, magnetism, size, and heat methods that agree with each other.
With rhodamine B, the host formed both single in-cavity pairs and a two-ring capsule holding one dye molecule, stitched together by water. Methylene blue formed only the simple one-to-one pair. A host that can catch a pollutant in water is a step toward sensors that spot contamination and materials that pull it out, both badly needed for clean water.
