Abstract:
Here we develop a near infrared (NIR) fluorogenic probe for carbon monoxide (CO) detection and imaging based on palladium-mediated carbonylation using a NIR boron-dipyrromethene difluoride as a fluorophore and tetraethylene glycols as aqueous moieties. The probe is utilized to image exogenous and endogenous CO under different stimulated conditions in live cells.
