Abstract

Functionalized metallacages have attracted tremendous attention in recent years due to their potential applications in optical sensing, catalysis, and recognition. A novel anthracene-functionalized metallacage was synthesized and characterized in detail by UV/vis spectroscopy, 1D/2D NMR, electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. This metallacage exhibited a specific fluorescence enhancement response to OH–, PO4 3–, and AcO– anions, and further analysis indicated that this was due to anion-induced metallacage disassembly.

Key words

supramolecular chemistry - self-assembly - metallacages - fluorescence - anion recognition
