Selective binding and reversible release of riboflavin by polymer-bound zinc(II) azamacrocycles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2001 Nov 21:(22):2390-1. doi: 10.1039/b107605a.

Abstract

The reversible formation of a coordinative bond between a polymer-bound Lewis-acidic metal complex and a flavin imide moiety allows complete extraction of riboflavin from aqueous solution at physiological pH and its quantitative release at pH 5.
