Anion sensing in aqueous media by photo-active transition-metal bipyridyl rotaxanes.

A chloride anion templation methodology is utilized in the construction of novel transition-metal rhenium(I) and ruthenium(II) bipyridyl appended [2]rotaxanes. (1)H NMR spectroscopic titrations reveal the ability of the rotaxanes to selectively bind chloride over the more basic oxoanions, with the r...
