A xanthene-aldehyde based ratiometric fluorescent probe for hypochlorite detection in environmental waters and bioimaging.
Hypochlorite (ClO-) is a highly reactive oxidant involved in biological processes and residential settings, motivating the development of rapid and quantitative sensing tools. Here we report a ratiometric fluorescent probe DEXC for specific detection of ClO- by incorporating an aldehyde recognition unit onto a xanthene...
