Abstract
Enol phosphonium ylides from phosphines and dianiline squaraine dyes form a sensitive and stable framework responding to phosphophilic metal complexes. Addition of a metal complex triggers phosphine abstraction, releasing the parent dye, forming new chemodosimeters for trace metal detection.
