Iron is one of the most important elements in metabolic processes, being indispensable for
all living systems and therefore it is extensively distributed in environmental and biological …

After a brief introduction on the main transduction mechanisms for metal ion detection by
fluorescence, this paper reviews ligand molecules containing fluorophores synthesized and …

A novel coumarin-based fluorogenic probe bearing the 2-picolyl unit (1) was developed as a
fluorescent chemosensor with high selectivity and suitable affinity in biological systems …

Oxidative stress is a common feature shared by many diseases, including
neurodegenerative diseases. Factors that contribute to cellular oxidative stress include …

Although labile iron plays critical roles in diverse biological processes in living cells, the
physiological and pathophysiological functions of iron have not been sufficiently explored …

New quinoline based fluorescent sensors 4 and 5 were rationally synthesized that exhibited
excellent aggregation induced emission (AIE) in an aqueous medium. High fluorescence …

The field of medicinal inorganic chemistry has evolved with three conceptual aims: the
introduction of metal ions to the biological system, manipulation and redistribution of metal …

A new fluorescent probe 3 was synthesized, and it exhibited high selectivity for FeIII over
other commonly coexistent metal ions in both ethanol and water. Upon the addition of FeIII …

Polarity-dependent fluorescent probes are recently attracting interest for high-resolution cell
imaging. Following a stepwise rational approach, we prepared and tested a toolbox of new …

A novel boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) based fluorescence turn-on sensor for detecting
Fe3+ in aqueous media is reported with 23-fold fluorescence enhancement. The sensor is …
