A supramolecular Cu(II) metallocyclophane probe for guanosine 5'-monophosphate.
We demonstrate Cu(2+) ion induced formation of a novel water soluble metallocyclophane [.CuCl(2)](2), which uniquely recognizes guanosine 5'-monophosphate through changes in emission intensity utilizing synergistic effects of electrostatic, coordinative and pi-stacking interactions inside the cavity.
