A Hg(2+)-selective rhodamine 6G derivative bearing thiolactone moiety was synthesized, and its crystal structure with Hg(2+) is presented to explain the binding mode. In addition, highly selective "off-on"-type fluorescent change upon the addition of Hg(2+) was also applied to bioimaging.

A New fluorescent sensor based on a perylene-dpa-Zn platform was synthesized. Selective "Off-On" type fluorescence changes were observed upon the addition of UTP and UDP, which was also applied to monitor glycosylation processes.

The polydiacetylenes derived from a hydroxybenzaldehyde substituted diacetylene monomer display a unique colorimetric change (blue to red) and large fluorescent enhancement in the presence of cetyl trimethylammonium salt.
