Simply by changing the pH value, the side chain of complex 1 can be reversibly moved between two positions. Coordination to the metal center through the nitrogen atom of the side chain at moderate pH values is accompanied by a decrease in fluorescence intensity (from IF=100% to IF=60%). A further decrease is observed upon deprotonation of the bound water molecule at higher pH (IF≤2%). Therefore, 1 can be seen as a molecular three-position switch.

Abstract
Simply by changing the pH value, the side chain of complex 1 can be reversibly moved between two positions. Coordination to the metal center through the nitrogen atom of the side chain at moderate pH values is accompanied by a decrease in fluorescence intensity (from IF=100% to IF=60%). A further decrease is observed upon deprotonation of the bound water molecule at higher pH (IF≤2%). Therefore, 1 can be seen as a molecular three-position switch.File in questo prodotto:
