M. Di Casa et al., Zinc(II) driven intra-molecular electronic energy transfer in a supramolecular assembly held by coordinative interactions, CHEM COMMUN, (9), 2001, pp. 825-826
In a MeOH solution the complex [Zn-II(L)](2+) gives an adduct with the coum
arin-343 anion and an electronic energy transfer process takes place from t
he fluorophore placed on the ligand L to the fluorescent anion, according t
o a mechanism which can be reversively switched off-on following an acid-ba
se input.
