A Blue Luminescent Star-Shaped ZnII Complex that Can Detect Benzene

Jun Pang et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. .

Abstract

Binding benzene: A novel blue luminescent star-shaped ZnII complex has been found to be able to detect benzene selectively by fluorescent quenching. This is attributed to the compoundapos;s high affinity to benzene, as demonstrated in the crystal structure (see picture; yellow: benzene, red: zinc).

Keywords: N ligands; benzene; luminescence; sensors; stacking interactions; zinc.
