摘要

A platinum(II) complex Pt(phen)C CC(6)H(4)CHO has been demonstrated as a highly selective phosphorescent chemodosimeter for cysteine and homocysteine. Upon addition of homocysteine or cysteine to its acetonitrile-water solution, an evident luminescent color variation from green to orange was observed. This red-shift of phosphorescence emission could be attributed to formation of a thiazinane through a selective reaction of aldehyde group of Pt(phen)C CC(6)H(4)CHO with cysteine/homocysteine, which was con. rmed by (1)H NMR investigation and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The further selectivity investigation indicates that it displays high selectivity for homocysteine and cysteine, and therefore can be utilized as cysteine/homocysteine phosphorescent chemodosimeter.
