A lanthanide hybrid cluster as a selective optical chemosensor for phosphate-containing anions in aqueous solution

Anal Sci. 2004 Oct;20(10):1375-7. doi: 10.2116/analsci.20.1375.

Abstract

An europium-chelating [2Fe-2S] cluster was used to assemble an optical molecular chemosensor highly selective for phosphate-containing anions. Phosphate, pyrophosphate, AMP, ADP, ATP, DNA and RNA were well distinguished by UV/V is absorption or fluorescence studies.
