39. Binding constants were determined by non-linear least-squares fitting of plots of emission intensity versus log[M] using the program Prism3 (Graphpad, Inc., San Diego, CA).
40. All ligand-Ag(I) complexes were of 1:1 stoichiometry, as determined by the method of continuous variation. We were not able to accurately evaluate the stoichiometry of Hg(II) complex formation because the increases in emission are almost completely offset by dilution. For purposes of binding constant determination, we have treated them as 1:1 complexes, although we suspect that multiple species are present.
41. Three minor features in the emission spectra warrant comment. Two invariant peaks at ca. 380 and 400 nm arise from impurities in the DMSO/ buffer solution that we were not able to remove despite repeated purification. The small spike at ca. 450 nm is a Wood's anomaly characteristic of our fluorimeter.
