A ratiometric fluorescent probe having a fast response and a large Stokes shift detects SH− both in solid and vapour phases and this probe is used for fluorescence imaging of SH− in living cells.
A highly sensitive ESIPT based fluorescent chemodosimeter (LOD 3.3 ppb) has been synthesized using “green” chemical route and employed to detect thiophenol in environmental samples and living cells.
A simple, cyanovinylene-based, ratiometric, colorimetric and fluorescent chemodosimeter was developed to sensitively and selectively monitor HClO in living cells.
