Abstract

A number of polyamide-containing multinuclear alkynylgold(I) isonitrile complexes have been designed, synthesized and characterized. The tetranuclear gold(I) complex is found to show spectroscopic responses in the presence of cadmium ions. The photophysical properties of the complex can be modulated via the suppression of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) and intramolecular Au⋯Au interactions. The binding mode of the complex has also been investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The complex is found to be highly selective towards cadmium ions as well as zinc ions.
