Synthesis and reactivity of a tris(carbene) zinc chloride complex

Abstract

The PhB(tBuIm)31– ligand has gained increased attention since it was first reported in 2006 due to its ability to stabilize highly reactive first row transition metal complexes. In this work,...

Highly specific fluorescent probes toward acetic acid via structural transformation of zinc complexes

“…Usually, transition organometallic probes possess the following characteristics: (1) highly luminous efficiency, long lifetime and high stability; (2) large Stokes shift of excitation and emission, and easy regulation of excitation and emission wavelengths; and (3) low cell imaging incubation concentration and less interference of normal cell activity. 26,27 Meanwhile, because of their low price and nontoxicity, easy functional modification and synthesis, photochemical stability, and desirable photophysical properties, [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] zinc complexes are widely used as excellent luminescent materials.…”
