- A dual-analytes responsive fluorescent probe for discriminative detection of ClO− and N2H4 in living cellsPublication . Zhu, Beitong; Wu, Xiaoli; Rodrigues, João; Hu, Xichao; Sheng, Ruilong; Bao, Guang-MingHydrazine (N2H4) and ClO− are very harmful for public health, hence it is important and necessary to monitor them in living cells. Herein, we rationally designed and synthesized a dual-analytes responsive fluorescent sensor PTMQ for distinguishing detection of N2H4 and ClO−. PTMQ underwent N2H4-induced double bond cleavage, affording colorimetric and green fluorescence enhancement with good selectivity and a low detection limit (89 nM). On the other hand, PTMQ underwent ClO−-induced sulfur oxidation and displayed red fluorescence lighting-up response towards ClO− with good selectivity, rapid response (<0.2 min) and a low detection limit (58 nM). Moreover, PTMQ was successfully employed for in-situ imaging of N2H4 and ClO− in living cells
- A selective cascade reaction-based probe for colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence detection of benzoyl peroxide in food and living cellsPublication . Wu, Xiaoli; Zeng, Lintao; Chen, Bao-Quan; Zhang, Ming; Rodrigues, João; Sheng, Ruilong; Bao, Guang-MingA novel colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe (Cou-BPO) was readily prepared for specific detection of harmful benzoyl peroxide (BPO). The probe Cou-BPO reacted with BPO via a selective oxidation cleavage-induced cascade reaction of the pinacol phenylboronate group, which resulted in an observable colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence response towards BPO with a fast response time (o15 min) and a low detection limit (56 nM). For practical application, facile, portable and sensitive test paper of Cou-BPO has been prepared for visual detection of BPO. Furthermore, we employed Cou-BPO as a probe to determine BPO in food samples and living cells.
