ZinCast-1: a photochemically active chelator for Zn~(2+)

摘要

Two strategies were applied to the synthesis of ZinCast-1, a nitrobenzhydrol-based caged complex that upon photolysis exhibits a nearly 400-fold difference in binding for Zn~(2+) .rnCaged compounds are valuable tools for delineating signaling pathways of small molecules and metal ions.
