چکیده

A new rhodamine based selective and sensitive turn-on fluorescent Zn(2+)chemosensor has been developed. A prominent fluorescence enhancement was found in the presence of Zn(2+), which was accompanied by changes in the absorption spectrum. The new sensor showed 'naked-eye' detection of Zn(2+) ions: a color change of the solution from colorless to pink. Furthermore, by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy experiments, it has been demonstrated that it can be used as a fluorescent probe for monitoring Zn(2+) in living cells.

An acid catalyzed reversible ring-opening/ring-closure reaction involving a cyano-rhodamine spirolactam.

Cyanamide was introduced into the rhodamine spirolactam framework to produce a colorless and non-fluorescent compound RBCN. It shows a reversible ring-opening/ring-closure process in response to the solution pH, which exhibits an "ON/OFF" switching in its fluorescence. Different from other rhodamine-type dyes, the ring-open form of RBCN is stable in protic solvents under neutral, near neutral a...

A highly selective turn-on colorimetric, red fluorescent sensor for detecting mobile zinc in living cells.

We describe ZRL1, a turn-on colorimetric and red fluorescent zinc ion sensor. The Zn(2+)-promoted ring opening of the rhodamine spirolactam ring in ZRL1 evokes a 220-fold fluorescence turn-on response. In aqueous media, ZRL1 turn-on luminescence is highly selective for Zn(2+) ions, with no significant response to other competitive cations, including Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Fe(2+), ...

A turn-on fluorescence chemosensor based on a tripodal amine [tris(pyrrolyl-α-methyl)amine]-rhodamine conjugate for the selective detection of zinc ions.

A novel tetradendate ligand derived from a tris(pyrrolyl-α-methyl)amine (H3tpa) and rhodamine-based conjugate (PR) has been designed for use as a sensor, synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. PR {(tris(5-rhodamineiminopyrrol-2-ylmethyl)amine)} serves as a selective colorimetric as well as a fluorescent chemosensor for Zn(2+) in acetonitrile/water (1 : 1, v/v). In the presence of Zn(2...

Rhodamine-based chemosensor for Hg(2+) in aqueous solution with a broad pH range and its application in live cell imaging.

A new fluorescent probe, rhodamine B derivative (1) bearing an 8-hydroxyquinoline group, was synthesized and displayed highly selective and sensitive Hg(2+)-amplified absorbance and fluorescence emission above 500 nm in aqueous solution with a broad pH range 4-9. It was found that mercury ions coordinate reversibly to 1 and the spirolactam ring of 1 was opened, forming a 1 : 1 metal-ligand comp...

Highly sensitive and selective colorimetric and off-on fluorescent probe for Cu(2+) based on rhodamine derivative.

A new probe for Cu(2+) based on the Cu(2+)- induced reversible ring-opening mechanism of the rhodamine spirolactam was described. It displayed a highly selective and sensitive "turn-on" fluorescent and colorimetric response toward Cu(2+).
