A General Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) Method for Observation and Quantification of Organometallic Complexes under Reaction Conditions

A two-fluorophore FRET system provided a more general approach than previously described fluorescence techniques to observing and quantifying organometallic complexes under reaction conditions. Over the concentration range of 3 × 10⁻⁷ to 5 × 10⁻⁶ M, this method provided quantification with faster time resolution and greater sensitivity than is possible with NMR spectroscopy.
