Title: Solid-state materials for anion sensing in aqueous solution: highly selective colorimetric and luminescence-based detection of perchlorate using a platinum(II) salt

The PF{sub 6}{sup -} salt of a platinum(II) complex changes from yellow to red and becomes intensely luminescent upon exposure to aqueous ClO{sub 4}{sup -}. The response is remarkably selective. Spectroscopic changes are consistent with anion exchange resulting in shortening of the intramolecular Pt***Pt distances between the square planar cations.
