Abstract
A novel boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) based fluorescence turn-on sensor for detecting Fe(3+) in aqueous media is reported with 23-fold fluorescence enhancement. The sensor is comprised of a combination of BODIPY fluorophore and a new Fe(3+)-recognizing cryptand that exhibits high selectivity, sensitivity, and reversibility toward Fe(3+) detection. Cell imaging studies demonstrate that this sensor is capable of sensing Fe(3+) in living cells.Entities:
