A reaction-based florescence probe CBF for serum albumin (SA) was proposed by connecting a dioxaborine unit with environment-sensitive coumarin fluorophore. CBF exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward SA over other biologically relevant species and has potential of detecting SA in biosamples.
New facile, economical and fluorescent (ARS–H3BO3/LDH)n UTFs were developed, exhibiting response to tiopronin with high selectivity, precision and reversibility.
