A tripodal imine-derived Fe(iii) complex for the fluorescence recognition of Mg(ii) via green emission: crystal structure, photophysical interactions and DFT studies

Abstract

Single crystal X-ray structurally characterised Fe3+ complex, [Fe (III)-TNESAL] derived from a multi-dentate tripodal imine (N, N', N"-tris-(2-aminoethyl) amine-tris-(3-ethoxysalicylideneimine, H3TNESAL) selectively recognizes Mg2+ through generation of green fluorescence (λem =...
