摘要

A binuclear Zn(II)-Zn(II) complex 2b-Zn2 from a macrocyclic ligand 2b has been shown to be stable in an aqueous solution, exhibiting absorption (λmax ≈ 367 nm) and weak blue fluorescence (λem ≈ 424 nm). The weak fluorescence intensity of the zinc complex could be dramatically increased when the solution was cooled. Upon addition of pyrophosphate ion (PPi), the resulting product gave a large bathochromic shift in both absorption (Δλmax by ~ 57 nm) and fluorescence (Δλem by ~ 106 nm). Spectroscopic studies indicated that the resulting emissive species could be aggregation of the macrocyclic ligand that was accompanied with partial hydrolysis of imine bonds.
