title: Metallothionein-inspired prototype of molecular pincer.
abstract: Study of Zn and Pb release from complexes with natural and synthetic amidothiol motifs inspired the design of a "molecular pincer" that scavenges quantitatively metals from liquid environment and releases them, on-demand, under very mild oxidative conditions.
