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.
A naphthalimide based Fe3+ selective fluorescence ‘turn-on’ probe that operates based on a PET mechanism has been synthesized, and its application in the detection of Fe3+ ions in aqueous samples and in live cells is explored.
