Abstract

A novel efficient luminescent chemosensor based on a 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen)-tethered Ru (bpy) 3 2+ derivative (Ru–cyclen) has been synthesized and characterized. It displays an ON–OFF-type luminescence change with excellent selectivity towards Cu (II) amongst 16 metal ions in 100% aqueous solution. The binding stoichiometry of Ru–cyclen with Cu 2+ was established by Job plot analysis and mass spectral evidence ...
