A new rhodamine-based fluorescent chemosensor for Fe3+ and its application in living cell imaging
摘要:
A new rhodamine-based compound (1) has been synthesized and applied as an "off-on" chemosensor for Fe3+. The comparison of this method with some other fluorescence methods for Fe3+ indicates that the method can detect Fe3+ in living cells by fluorescence enhancement and color changes with high sensitivity and selectivity. The fluorescence intensity of 1 is significantly increased about 60-fold with 20 equiv of Fe3+ added. Most importantly, the fluorescence changes of the chemosensor are remarkably specific for Fe3+ in the presence of other metal ions, which meet the selective requirements for practical application. Moreover, the experiment results show that the response behavior of 1 towards Fe3+ is pH independent in neutral condition (pH 6.0-8.0) and the response of the chemosensor is fast (response time less than 2 min). In addition, the proposed chemosensor has been used for imaging of Fe3+ in living cells with satisfying results. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Thiorhodamine-based chemodosimeter A, a disulfide linked dimer, was designed for Hg2+ recognition by virtue of the strong affinity of mercury for sulfur. Spectroscopic results reveal that chemodosimeter A exhibits real-time responses, and high sensitivity and selectivity for Hg2+ in comparison to other cations. These properties are mechanistically ascribed to the transfer from rhodamine spirolactam to the thiazoline-derived open-ring rhodamineviaHg2+ induced desulfurization. The in vitro recognition of Hg2+ in living cells pretreated with A was examined, showing that the concentration of Hg2+ that could be imaged reaches the safety limit for human beings.
