A Simple but Effective Dual Redox and Fluorescent Ion Pair Receptor Based on a Ferrocene-Imidazopyrene Dyad
ORGANIC LETTERS, 13:2078-2081, APR 15 2011 2011
The ferrocene-imidazopyrene dyad, bearing the imidazole ring as the only receptor site, acts as a redox and optical molecular sensor for ion pairs, exhibiting an easily detectable signal change in the redox potential of the ferrocene/ferrocinium redox couple and in the emission spectrum. Perturbation of the emission spectrum follows the order Pb(2+) > Hg(2+) > Zn(2+) for cations and H(2)PO(4)(-) > AcO(-) for anions.
