New Eu(III)-based indicators enable luminescence-based detection of polyphosphate-bound Mg2+ species, a highly dynamic pool of biomolecule-bound magnesium in cells.
Recent advances in ullazine derivatives have enabled precise electronic tuning, yielding highly conjugated materials with enhanced light-harvesting and charging transport properties for use in organic photovoltaics and dye-sensitized solar cells.
This review unveils the molecular engineering of far-red/NIR BODIPY probes for organelle-specific imaging and biomedical frontiers.
Four important fluorescent building blocks (xanthene, cyanine, oxazine and BODIPY) for super-resolution bioimaging are judiciously assessed.
The concept of latent pronucleophiles enables selective allylation of picolines and quinaldines with allylic fluorides in the presence of Lewis base catalysts. The products are isolated as single regioisomers with good yields and enantioselectivity.
