Synthesis and coordination chemistry of 1-(2′,2″-bipyridyl-5′-yl-methyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane L1. Quenching of fluorescence from [Ru(bipy)2(L1)]2+ by coordination of NiII or CuII in the cyclam cavity (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine; cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradecane)
Abstract
A novel bipy derivative of cyclam (L1) designed for controlled and systematic polynuclear metal complex formation is reported; fluorescence quenching of the [Ru(bipy)3]2+ core of [(bipy)2Ru(L1)]2+ upon coordination of CuII at the cyclam cavity is demonstrated.
