A turn-on fluorescent probe for cysteine with high selectivity was designed and synthetized. The probe can be used for “naked-eye” detection of Cys with an obvious color change from yellow to colorless. The probe could be applied for Cys detection in real human serum.
We developed a novel strategy for signal amplification strategy using a visible light-induced photopolymerization, initiated by a selective turn-on photoredox catalyst. As photoredox catalysts, fluorescein derivatives are able to initiate...
The ‘C–CN’ bond cleavage was applied to the recognition of N2H4 for the first time; the obvious change in color could be used for “naked-eye” detection; the corresponding detection limit was found to be 5.81 × 10−8 M (1.65 ppb); the probe could be applied for N2H4 detection in real water samples.
Herein, we synthesized a trimesoyl chloride–rhodamine derivative TR. TR exhibited metal ions complexation induced photophysical ‘turn-on’ signaling responses to Hg2+ and Fe3+.
