Abstract

A diketopyrrolopyrrole-based fluorescent probe DPP-HBT bearing a benzothiazole hydrazone motif exhibited an obvious fluorescent turn-on response toward Pb²⁺ ions with a low detection limit of 2.3 × 10⁻¹⁰ M in aqueous solution. Furthermore, the imaging experiments indicated that this probe was cell-permeable and could be used to detect Pb²⁺ ions within living cells.
