A new AIE-based fluorimetric probe (TPE-PMI) has been successfully developed utilizing Gabriel reaction for the selective detection of hydrazine in solid, liquid and vapour phases.
Sub-nanomolar selective detection of Hg(ii) ions by protein (Human Serum Albumin, HSA) templated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), both in in vitro as well as in vivo environments and specific endocytose behaviour towards breast cancer (BC) cell lines.
