Abstract:
Two simple, efficient turn-on fluorescent probes for hypochlorite have been rationally designed and developed by utilizing the oxidation of hypochlorite. Notably, probe 1 and 2 displayed rapid and remarkable turn-on responses to ClO- in PBS buffer solution (pH7.4). Further, the optical properties of two probes and their ClO--addition products were confirmed by density functional theory calculations. And detection limits of two probes for ClO- based on the definition by IUPAC were calculated for 2.882nM and 0.354μM. More importantly, cell imaging experiments demonstrated that probe 1 was more suitable for detecting the ClO- in living A549 cells. And both two probes had the possibility of potentially applied in practical applications such as detecting the hypochlorite concentration of tap water and river water.

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a...
