A ratiometric fluorescent probe for sensing HOCl based on a coumarin–rhodamine dyad†
Abstract
We developed a ratiometric fluorescent probe for sensing HOCl based on coumarin and rhodamine acid that is directly used as a detection moiety. The probe shows high selectivity and sensitivity toward HOCl under best working conditions of myeloperoxidase by which HOCl can be generated from hydrogen peroxide and chloride.
