Novel highly sensitive fluorescent probes for zinc cations based on the diketopyrrolopyrrole
scaffold were designed and synthesized. Large bathochromic shifts (≈ 80 nm) of …

Most reported Zn2+ probes suffer from the interference of background fluorescence
originated from the conjugated structures of commonly utilized fluorophores. In this work …

The selective and sensitive detection of zinc ions has been an important research topic
because of the vital role played by zinc ions in numerous physiological activities, and …

With the purpose of developing readily synthesized CHEF (chelation-enhanced
fluorescence) type Zn2+ probes with relatively simple molecular structures and excellent …

Treatment of aqueous zinc solutions with incremental additions of a ditopic fluorescent
sensor of the Zinpyr family, based on pyridine/pyrazine-containing metal recognition units …

A borondipyrromethene-based Zn2+ fluorescent probe BODPAQ was designed and
synthesized. The chelators in BODPAQ, 2, 2′-dipicolylamine (DPA) and 8-aminoquinoline …

This review highlights recent advances in new high sensitive and selective fluorescent
chemosensors for metal ions based on the dipyrromethene platform with the advantages of …

Fluorescence imaging is a powerful tool for the visualization of biological molecules in living
cells, tissue slices, and whole bodies, and is important for elucidating biological …

The UV-and sensor-induced interferences to living systems pose a barrier for in vivo Zn2+
imaging. In this work, an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) fluorophore of smaller aromatic …

A new turn-on fluorescent chemosensor, DPPL1, was rationally designed and synthesized
based on diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), which presented high sensitivity and selectivity for …
