structure: see text Tetrathiafulvalene redox-responsive ligands devoid of cis/trans isomerism containing the electroactive bis(pyrrolo3,4-d)tetrathiafulvalene moiety and polyether subunits have been synthesized. One ligand exhibits high binding affinities for Pb2+ and Ba2+ cations as shown by independent methods (1H NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry). The ability of this receptor to electrochemically recognize Pb2+ and Ba2+ is shown by cyclic voltammetry.
Levillain et al. (2002) studied this question.
