Abstract:
Compound 1 was facilely synthesized through a one step reaction from commercially available materials. As a sensitive and selective "turn-on" fluorescent chemosensor for Zn(II), 1 exhibits a 40-fold fluorescence enhancement response to Zn(II) over other physiological relevant metal ions in aqueous solution at neutral pH. Furthermore, 1 could be efficiently delivered to live cells for bioimaging of Zn(II).
