description

An Au(III)–amino alcohol complex has been used to cleave organophosphorous pesticides of the dithiophosphate family. P–S bond breaking was readily demonstrated by 1H NMR, 31P NMR and MS. Thiol fragment release was also demonstrated using 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl fluorescein ethyl ester as a fluorescent sensor.
