pH-controlled fluorescent emission in the nickel(II) complex of a bifunctional tetramine macrocycle.
In the Ni(II) complex of a reinforced tetramine macrocycle, equipped with both a sulfonamide pendant arm and a naphthalene fragment, light emission of the fluorophore is pH-controlled, as a result of a change of the geometry of the complex.
