A pH-triggered bistable copper(ii) metallacycle as a reversible emulsion switch for biphasic processes

Abstract

A unique bistable copper-metallacyclic complex is used as an elegant molecular switch for the reversible formation of emulsions by simple pH variation. This switch may have several exciting applications in biphasic processes such as catalysis and separation science technologies.
