Abstract:
We designed and synthesized two metal ion binding molecules 5
3a and 3b based on cysteine. In 3a, pyrene is used as a
fluorescent probe, while 3b contains tryptophan, which acts
as a fluorescent probe as well as facilitates metalion binding.
Detailed spectroscopic, calorimetric, microscopic and
computational studies revealed the binding mode and the 10
plausible structures of the complexes
