Cover Story: A detailed study of the complexation between Ga(III) and alizarine red S (ARS) was carried out using spectroscopic and computational methods. Besides the previously 1:2 Ga(III):ARS complex reported, an additional 1:1 and two 1:3 complexes were found and characterized. The 1:1 complex was proposed to be a near-octahedral species with the formula [Ga(ARS)(H2O)4]+. The 1:2 complex is centrosymmetric with two magnetically equivalent ARS ligands, and the two 1:3 complexes have mer and fac configurations. In all the complexes, ARS binds to Ga(III) through one hydroxyl and the adjacent carbonyl groups. Marked changes in the UV/vis absorption and fluorescence spectra of the ligand upon complexation revealed that ARS is a highly sensitive fluorescent probe for the detection of Ga(III).
