title: Highly selective ion probe for Al3+ based on Au(I)···Au(I) interactions in a bis-alkynyl calix[4]arene Au(I) isocyanide scaffold.
abstract: A bis-alkynyl calix[4]arene Au(I) isocyanide complex has been synthesized and demonstrated to be a selective ion probe for Al(3+) based on Au(I)Au(I) interactions.
