Switched on : A molecular concept allows the generation of magnetism in an aqueous sample under the influence of a freshly added (bio‐)chemical analyte. The analyte (a chemical reagent or enzyme) triggers the conversion of the probe, a diamagnetic chelate compound, into a paramagnetic compound (see scheme). The two probes prepared are easily accessible iron(II) chelates, and are operative at physiological conditions and/or in serum.
