Anion recognition and luminescent sensing by new ruthenium(II) and rhenium(I) bipyridyl calix[4]diquinone receptors

Abstract

New ruthenium(II) and rhenium(I) bipyridyl calix[4]diquinone receptors have been prepared and shown to selectively bind and sense acetate anions via remarkable luminescent emission intensity retrieval effects.
