The probe exhibited higher selectivity towards the target molecule over other thiol and amino acids at pH 7.2 in aqueous media CH_3CN-HEPES(0.02 mol/L, pH 7.2, 1:9, v/v). The reaction mechanism is attributed to the cysteine-induced S_NAr substitution-rearrangement reaction. Remarkable enhancement of up to 20-fold in fluorescence intensity was achieved in the detection of cysteine. When applied for the fluorescence imaging of cysteine, the compound 1 emitted a green fluorescence in Hi5 cell cytoplasm. The in vivo imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans had further confirmed the cysteine detection by compound 1.展开更多

The colorimetric and fluorescence responses, allowing naked-eye detections, are based on Hg^2+-induced opening of the rhodamine spirocycle. Among all the testes ions, only Hg^2+generated a significant fluorescence enhancement of up to 300-fold, with a bright yellow–green emission. This sensor was a low toxic compound, and was successfully applied in the in vivo imaging of Hg^2+in Spill 2 cells and C. elegans. This approach provides a sensitive and accurate method for the estimation of Hg^2+in environmental, tobacco and biological applications.展开更多
