title: Hg(II)-selective excimer emission of a bisnaphthyl azadiene derivative.
abstract: A bisnaphthyl azadiene derivative (L) demonstrates Hg2+-selective intermolecular excimer emission. This emission is responsive to the number of coordinated Hg2+ atoms, where 2:2 and 2:3 L-Hg2+ complexes are the strongly emissive components, whereas the 2:1 complex is nonemissive.
