Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing α-amino acid that differs by one methylene (CH<sub>2</sub> ) subunit from homologous cysteine (Cys). Elevated levels of Hcy are diagnostic markers of cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions. We present a new Cu<sup>II</sup> -salicylidene glycinato complex 1 for the selective fluorometric detection of Hcy in water. In the presence of this analyte, the non-fluorescent copper-complex demetallates and disassembles into its building blocks. This p ...[more]
