Extremely selective “turn-on” fluorescence detection of hypochlorite confirmed by proof-of-principle neurological studies via esterase action in living cells
The lysosome-targeted probe CuNI exhibits highly effective fluorescence detection ability for Cu2+ in aqueous solution and cells. The fluorescent enhancement is due to the Cu2+-catalyzed hydrolysis of CuNI and the AIE effect of the hydrolysate MFNI.
A new CdTe@SiO2@CdSe nanohybrid was demonstrated for the ratiometric fluorescence detection of Cd2+via the turn-on model and “ion-imprinting” technique.
