An allyl-rhodamine Schiff base shows excellent palladium sensitivity (LOD, 95 nM) irrespective of Pd(0,ii,iv) and practical applicability is judged in living cells of RAW 264.7 (macrophage) cells.
A novel pyrene based free thiol containing a Schiff base derivative PT1 was synthesized and reported as a fluorescence turn-on sensor for Hg2+ ions, via CHEF and excimer (PT1-PT1*) formation with live cell imaging.
A new Schiff base receptor (3) was synthesized by an equimolar reaction between the isonicotinic hydrazide and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in ethanol. Receptor 3 based demonstrated excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards Cu2+...
Allylether-Rhodamine selectively invites Pd2+from mixture of other cations and Pd(0) in H2O-MeCN medium and exhibits maroon emission due to C(allyl)-O bond cleavage and opening of spirolactam ring. The LOD is 50 nM at pH 7. Imaging Pd2+species in living cells under physiological conditions is achieved.
