A H-shaped heterometallic Sn4Au4 system with guest-tuneable multicolour and selective luminescence sensing properties†
Abstract
A H-shaped heterometallic Sn4Au4 system that displays tuneable guest-dependent optical and photoluminescent properties has been synthesized. It shows selective dye sorption, while its stimuli-responsive methylred-rich solid is sensitive towards pH variations. This non-emissive Sn4Au4 system exhibits multicolour luminescence in the presence of aniline derivatives.
