title: Selective ion probe for Mg2+ based on Au(I)Au(I) interactions in a tripodal alkynylgold(I) complex with oligoether pendants.
abstract: A simple but novel tripodal alkynylgold(I) complex with oligoether pendants has been synthesized and demonstrated to be a selective ion probe for Mg2+ based on Au(I)Au(I) interactions.
