Synopsis: A well-known tryptophan metabolite, xanthurenic acid, a natural non-fluorescent intermediate siderophore, showed a very selective turn-on response to K+ over other competing metal ions and the detection limit of this natural ionophore was found to be 53 nM at physiological pH.

Rhodamine B thiohydrazide (RBS) was firstly employed as turn-on fluorescent probe for hypochlorite in aqueous solution and living cells. It exhibits a stable response to hypochlorite from 1.0×10-6to 1.0×10-5M with a detection limit of 3.3×10-7M. The response of this probe to hypochlorite is fast and highly selective compared with other reactive oxygen species (such as.OH,1O2, H2O2) and other common anions (such as X-, ClO2-, ClO4-, NO3-, NO2-, OH-, Ac-, CO32-, SO42-).

A new 3-hydroxyphthalimide-based turn-on fluorescent probe is designed and synthesized. This probe can be used to determine the presence of Hg2+ ions by fluorescence spectroscope with high selectivity over other metal ions in aqueous solution. The analytical detection limit for Hg2+ is as low as 6.5 × 10−7 M. The recognition mechanism is attributed to Hg2+-promoted carbonothioate group cleavage and a subsequent excited-state intramolecular proton transfer mechanisms.

We reported here a turn-on fluorescent probe (1) for the detection of cysteine (Cys) by incorporating the recognition unit of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl ester (DNBS) to a coumarin derivative. The structure of the obtained probe was confirmed by NMR and HRMS techniques. The probe shows a remarkable fluorescence off-on response (∼52-fold) by the reaction with Cys in 100% aqueous buffer. The sensing mechanism was verified by the HPLC test. Probe 1 also displays high selectivity towards Cys. The detection limit was calculated to be 23 nM. Moreover, cellular experiments demonstrated that the probe is highly biocompatible and can be used for monitoring intracellular Cys.

A 1,8-naphthyridine modified rhodamine B derivative, one Cu2+-selective chemosensors was designed, synthesized and characterized, which display a high selectivity for Cu2+among environmentally and biologically relevant metal ions. It can detect Cu2+in aqueous solution selectively with a dramatic colour change from colorless to magenta. The detection mechanism involves a ring-opening process as a consequence of metal complex formation. Jobs plots study indicated that the chemosensor chelated Cu2+with 2:1 stoichiometry.
