title: A silver complex with an N,S,S-macrocyclic ligand bearing an anthracene pendant arm for optical ethylene monitoring.
abstract: We have synthesised a silver(I) complex with a metal-arene interaction, where the anthracene ring of the ligand sidearm is positioned above the silver(I) ion. The interaction is disrupted by ethylene coordination to the silver(I). The reversible interconversion between the metal-arene and metal-ethylene interactions allowed us to monitor the presence of ethylene.
