Fluorescence probing of the ferric Fenton reaction via novel chelation†
Abstract
A new probe-chelator PET dyad was synthesised, which can be used to detect Fe3+via fluorescence enhancement to discriminate between Fe2+ and Fe3+via Fenton chemistry involving hydrogen peroxide. This is the first BODIPY which works as a 2 : 1 multiplexer for Fe3+, Fe2+ and H2O2.
