A halogen ion-selective phosphorescence turn-on probe based on induction of Pt-Pt interactions
Abstract:
Square-planar cyclometalated platinum(ii) complexes have been found to serve as turn-on phosphorescent probes selectively for biological halogen ions. This is based on the halogen ion induced self-assembly of Pt(ii) compounds in aqueous media, resulting in intermolecular Pt-Pt interaction associated emission.

Halogens
Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
