A novel calix[n]triazolium was synthesized and exhibited excellent selectivity for AMP. The binding between calix[n]triazolium and chromenolate anions forms a non-fluorescent complex and the resulting supramolecular ensemble selectively detects AMP in water and induces "turn-on" fluorescence. The sensing platform is the first macrocyclic system to discriminate AMP from ADP and ATP through fluorescence changes.
