A highly selective turn-on fluorescent chemodosimeter for Cr(vi) and its application in living cell imaging†
Abstract
A BODIPY-based fluorescent probe, functionalized with an aminomaleonitrile was synthesized as a “turn-on” fluorescent chemodosimeter for Cr(VI) in aqueous solution based on the Cr(VI) promoted oxidation reaction. Moreover, it can fluorescently respond to Cr(VI) in living cells.
