Through the Weak-Link Approach, fluorescent condensed and open Cu(I) tweezer complexes were prepared and characterized. These complexes exhibit fluorescence-sensitive binding properties for halide anions. The solid-state structure of a non-fluorescent Rh(I) tweezer analogue, determined by X-ray crystallography, shows that the counter anion, Cl(-), is trapped in between the two amide groups of the tweezer arms through hydrogen bonds. Although the tweezer binds Cl(-), the open complex also binds C ...[more]
