A pyrene-induced PET-based chemosensor for biologically important Zn(ii) ions: application in test strips and live cell imaging studies

Abstract

Cation and anion sensing is a vital owing to their universal dispersion in ecosystems and biological functions. It has been shown that fluorescent receptors based on organic platform are efficient...

Tri-armed Schiff base fluorescent sensor for the rapid recognition of Zn(ii): application in live cell imaging, test strips and TLC

“…This experimental setup allowed for the visualization of the THDBP-treated cells and the subsequent effects of zinc on the HeLa cells, providing valuable insights into the cellular responses and interactions between the probe and zinc in the studied system. 56…”
