S. Watanabe et al., Stereoselective optical sensing of dicarboxylate anions by an induced-fit type Ru(II) receptor, TETRAHEDR L, 41(23), 2000, pp. 4583-4586
An induced-fit type Ru(II) receptor 1 has been synthesized in which, upon a
pproach of dicarboxylates, a highly flexible tetraamide binding site is org
anized to complement their chemical structures. Stereoselective optical sen
sing has been demonstrated by virtue of the luminescence response of 1 to t
he binding of cis/trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylates. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sc
