Miraculous metallocyclodextrin: A new polynuclear metallocyclodextrin complex, tris(bpyRu)-β-CD (bpy=bipyridine), was successfully synthesized. This complex possesses molecular-recognition functions and unique luminescent properties. A tris(bpyRu)-β-CD film was fabricated and utilized in a electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA sensor based on its molecular-recognition and luminescence characteristics.
Keywords: cyclodextrins; host-guest systems; luminescence; ruthenium; sensors.
