Stereochemical control of Zn(II)/Cu(II) selectivity in piperidine tripod ligands
Zhaohua Dai, Xiaodong Xu and James W. Canary
Stereochemistry plays a major role in the selectivity toward zinc ion over copper(II) of some tripodal ligands with a central piperidine scaffold, one of which acts as a fluorescent zinc sensor with nanomolar sensitivity.
