title: CuproCleav-1, a first generation photocage for Cu+.
abstract: By utilizing thioether ligands, CuproCleav-1 stabilizes Cu(+) complexes in aqueous solution and releases the guest metal ion upon photolysis of the nitrobenzyl group. The photocage has an apparent K(d) of 54 pM for Cu(+), and metal ion release has been demonstrated using the fluorescent sensor CS1.
