A water-soluble sulfonate-BODIPY based fluorescent probe for selective detection of HOCl/OCl−in aqueous media
Keyword(s):
A water-soluble sulfonate-BODIPY dye1was developed for the selective detection of HOCl/OCl−in aqueous buffer solution. The probe, which displays extremely weak fluorescence owing to efficient photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) from the pendant catechol donor, responds to HOCl/OCl−through a dramatic enhancement of its fluorescence intensity.
