Efficient luminescent properties and cation recognition ability of heavy group 13 element complexes of N2O2- and N2O4-type dipyrrins†
Abstract
The first mononuclear 1 : 1 complexes of heavy group 13 elements (Ga and In) and N2O2/N2O4-type dipyrrins were synthesized and characterized. The N2O2-type complexes showed efficient luminescent properties even in polar solvents. The N2O4-type complexes exhibited fluorometric responses to alkaline earth metal ions.
