By incorporating a rhodamine spirolactam structure as the recognition site for Cu2+, two novel probes were synthesized through a connection of rhodamine 6G acylhydrazine and 5-formyl-6-hydroxyl-4-methylcoumarin/2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. In the recognition process of probes towards Cu2+, the spirolactam ring exhibited opening and closing, accompanying an instant and specific change in fluorescence and in color, which could also achieve a naked-eye and semiquantitative recognition of aqueous Cu2+ besides the fluorescent Cu2+ detection method. Fluorescent analyses and ECV304 cell imaging further revealed the probes’ good optical stability, instant response, low toxicity, and membrane permeability, which offers future possibilities for the probes’ instant detection and the real-time tracking of Cu2+ in biological systems.

Innovative nitrogen and boron co-doped carbon dots are hydrothermally produced using fructose, urea, and boric acid as precursors. The synthesized carbon dots possess a uniform morphology, and exhibit excellent fluorescence stability, tunable luminescence property, strong resistance to photobleaching, low-toxicity, and excellent biocompatibility. It is also found more dopant urea is conducive to the formation of the carbon dots with more B–N bonds, and shorter wavelength of fluorescence emission. Meanwhile, the synthesized carbon dots are well utilized as a photoluminescent probe for facile Hg2+ determination and fluorescent imaging reagent in cells.

Proteins are the primary functional agents in all cellular processes, facilitating various functions such as enzymes and structure-forming or signal-transducing molecules. In this work, we report a fluorescent dye, PyMDI-Zn, which could specifically bind with proteins and provide a red-shifted fluorescent emission. The visual analysis of protein in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis could be realized in 5 min by using PyMDI-Zn as a light-up dye. Based on its cell penetration and low toxicity, PyMDI-Zn could also be applied to locate protein-rich regions and organelles in live cell imaging. Moreover, the direct protein quantitation can be realized based on PyMDI-Zn, providing a method of screening for food adulteration by nitrogen-rich compounds.
