A self-assembled supramolecular optical sensor for NiII, CdII, and CrIII

Org Lett. 2004 Mar 4;6(5):651-3. doi: 10.1021/ol035587b.

Abstract

A new chromogenic supramolecular sensor for transition metals is reported. It is based on a newly designed phenanthroline-containing molecule that self-assembles via an organometallic "clip" into a supramolecular optical sensor for metals. [reaction: see text]
