New berberine analogue (BER-S), as a colorimetric probe in the absence of DNA and turn-on fluorometric probe in the presence of DNA towards S2− detection is reported.
A new photoluminescence (PL) probe based on a formyl bearing bis-cyclometalated Ir(iii) complex, [Ir(ppy)2phen-CHO]+PF6− (1), is synthesized and applied to the selective detection of a bisulfite anion (HSO3−).
A water-soluble, biocompatible, small molecular fluorescent turn-on probe was developed for the highly selective and sensitive detection of NO in vitro and in living cells.
A naphthalimide-based fluorescence chemosensor, COFP, was designed and synthesized for the detection of carbon monoxide (CO) in HEPES buffer (pH 7.4, 37 °C).
A pyridine–pyrazole based fluorescence turn-on chemosensor provides access to selective detection of Al3+ in solution as well as in HepG2 living cells.
