  • Title: A highly selective and sensitive fluorescent turn-on sensor for Hg2+ and its application in live cell imaging.
    Author: Lu H, Xiong L, Liu H, Yu M, Shen Z, Li F, You X.
    Journal: Org Biomol Chem; 2009 Jun 21; 7(12):2554-8. PubMed ID: 19503929.
    Abstract:
    A boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivative containing a tridentate diaza-oxa ligand (8H-BDP) was synthesized as a fluorescent turn-on chemosensor for Hg(2+) with high sensitivity (detection limit < or = 2 ppb), a rapid response time (< or = 5 seconds) and specific selectivity over other cations under physiological conditions and in live cells according to the confocal fluorescence microscopy experiment.
