Metal-induced pre-organisation for anion recognition in a neutral platinum-containing receptor

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Nov 7:(41):6279-81. doi: 10.1039/b912942a. Epub 2009 Sep 4.

Abstract

The presence of Pt(II) allows pre-organisation of 4,4'-dicarboxamidoindole-2,2'-bipyridine, enhancing anion affinity with the resulting complex displaying selectivity for dihydrogen phosphate in DMSO-d6-0.5% water. Moreover the Pt(II) complex behaves as a colorimetic sensor for fluoride.
