Phospholipid-induced aggregation and anthracene excimer formation.
The zinc complex of anthryl bis(dipicolylamine) (1) aggregates upon binding with long-chain aliphatic phosphates and displays anthracene excimer fluorescence, which provides a new strategy toward detection of the biologically important lysophosphatidic acid in aqueous solution.
