Chiral Ln III Complexes to Probe Biologically Relevant Systems

5 Chiral Ln(III) Complexes to Probe Biologically Relevant Systems 

Unlike the Pfeiffer-induced systems discussed in Section 3.4.1, this section details some of the successful recent examples demonstrating the design principles for targeting anions and/or proteins that are of biological relevance [direct coordination to the metal centre of the chiral Ln(III)-based probes], followed by a survey of similar studies for analyte sensing (i.e. cations and/or proteins) in which the coordination occurs between the analytes and some of the antenna/receptor groups of the chiral Ln(III)-based probes.
