Stereochemical control of Zn(II)/Cu(II) selectivity in piperidine tripod ligands

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Jul 7:(13):1414-5. doi: 10.1039/b111259g.

Abstract

Stereochemistry plays a major role in the selectivity toward zinc ion over copper(II) of some tripodal ligands with a central piperidine scaffold, one of which acts as a fluorescent zinc sensor with nanomolar sensitivity.
