An oligothiophene-based "turn-on" fluorescent probe: Ultrasensitive detection and bioimaging of hypochlorite in environmental and living systems.
Hypochlorite (ClO-) is widely used for disinfection and sterilization but its overuse poses risks to environmental and food safety as well as human health. Developing effective detection tools is therefore of great importance. Herein, we report an oligothiophene-based fluorescent probe 2TS for ClO- detection in environ...
