A 3,5-dinitropyridin-2yl substituted naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe for the selective detection of biothiols and its application in cell-imaging
Keyword(s):
A highly selective OFF–ON fluorescent probe has been developed for the sensing of biothiols with a satisfactory response time and low detection limit. Also, the probe can be successfully applied for the sensing of biothiols in living cells.
