Second-Coordination-Sphere Assisted Selective Colorimetric Turn-on Fluoride Sensing by a Mono-Metallic Co(II) Hexacarboxamide Cryptand Complex

The preparation of a selective turn-on colorimetric fluoride sensor was achieved through single cobalt(II) ion insertion into a macrobicyclic cryptand. Monometallic [Co(mBDCA-5t-H₃)]− (1) and [Zn(mBDCA-5t-H₃)]− (2) complexes were prepared in 74 and 84% yields, respectively. Structural characterizati...
