Structural Dependence of the Selectivity of Fluorescent Chemosensors to Mg2+ from Alkali Earth Metal Ions

Synthesis and Characterization of Bis(2,2‘:6‘,2‘ ‘-terpyridine)ruthenium(II)-Connected Diblock Polymers via RAFT Polymerization

“…Metal-containing polymers are attracting significant interest as these materials may combine the processability and mechanical properties of polymers with the unique optoelectronic properties of metal complexes. , The development of metal-containing polymers with unique property profiles has been propelled by their (potential) use in diverse areas such as solar energy conversion, luminescent sensing, electroluminescence display, biotechnology, molecular machines, and molecular electronics . Thus, a number of metal-containing polymers, whose metal moiety is in either the polymer backbone or the side chain, have been reported in the literature. − In particular, metal-containing polymers with well-defined architectures are currently under extensive investigation. − However, most synthetic approaches to date have involved the construction of systems with broad molecular weight distributions and lack of control over polymer architecture.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Tris(2,2‘-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)-Centered Polystyrenes via Reversible Addition−Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) Polymerization

“…More interestingly, thermosensitive hydrogels containing Ru(bpy) 3 (II) 2+ have been prepared via conventional radical copolymerization . Second, condensation polymerization/coupling reaction by which bipyridine-backboned polymers are generally produced . Third, en d - g roup functionalization in which terpyridine or bipyridine mono- or difunctionalized oligomers first prepared by general chemical reactions and then further interacted with metal ions to form supramolecular metallopolymers. − Fourth, living or controlled polymerization in which bipyridine- or terpyridine-functionalized initiators with or without metal ions are used for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) − or ring-opening polymerization (ROP). , Living polymerizations allow for exquisite control over molecular weight and architecture in organic polymers.…”

Na+ Triggered Fluorescence Sensors for Mg2+ Detection Based on a Coumarin Salen Moiety

“…In particular, numerous efforts have been devoted to the design of chemosensory systems with unique electrical and optical properties that are capable of detecting metal ions in both a real-time and reversible fashion. A number of fluorescent sensors for Mg 2+ detection have been reported in previous works, such as diketone, crown ether, polymer based ligands, and nanoparticles . However, some available Mg 2+ sensors have difficulty in distinguishing Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ , so it is still interesting and of importance to design a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent sensor that can recognize Mg 2+ without the interference from other metal ions, especially Ca 2+ .…”
