Tracking silver delivery to bacteria using turn-on fluorescence

Abstract

Herein we present a novel silver complex [Ag(qBODIPY)(CF3SO3)] (1) that exhibits dramatic increase in fluorescence upon silver release. Complex 1 has a minimum inhibitory concentration comparable to that of silver nitrate. Confocal microscopy was used to track the delivery of silver to bacterial targets.
