title: Lanthanide luminescent anion sensing: evidence of multiple anion recognition through hydrogen bonding and metal ion coordination.
abstract: The delayed lanthanide luminescence of the terbium [Tb(III)] diaryl-urea complex 1xTb is significantly enhanced upon sensing of dihydrogenphosphate (H2PO4(-)) in CH3CN, which occurs through multiple anion binding through hydrogen bonding interactions and potential metal ion coordination to Tb(III).
