Colourimetric and fluorescent detection of oxalate in water by a new macrocycle-based dinuclear nickel complex: a remarkable red shift of the fluorescence band

Dalton Trans. 2014 Mar 28;43(12):4618-21. doi: 10.1039/c3dt53467g.

Abstract

A new macrocycle-based dinuclear nickel chemosensor selectively binds oxalate anions both in solution and the solid state, displaying a remarkable red shift of the fluorescence band with a visible colour change in water at physiological pH in the presence of an external dye.
