Abstract

A bicyclic cycloadduct 1 bearing a pyrenyl moiety has been synthesized and investigated as a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for AgI. In an aqueous ethanol solution of 1, the presence of silver ion induces the formation of a 1:2 metal-ligand complex, which exhibits a strong intensity enhancement of the pyrene excimer emission at the expense of the emission of monomeric pyrene.
