Abstract

A novel chemosensing ensemble that exhibits sensitive and selective recognitions of pyrophosphate in 100% aqueous solution at physiological pH has been developed. The chemosensing ensemble was constructed by a dinuclear Zn(II) complex of 2,6-bis[(bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amino)methyl]-p-cresol and sodium fluorescein, the receptor-indicator pair is able to highly selectively discriminate pyrophosphate from phosphate and other anions in water at physiological pH.
