Abstract
A ligand incorporating a dithioethenyl moiety is
cleaved into fragments which have a lower metal-ion affinity
upon irradiation with low-energy red/near-IR light. The
cleavage is a result of singlet oxygen generation which occurs
on excitation of the photosensitizer modules. The method has
many tunable factors that could make it a satisfactory caging
strategy for metal ions.
