A Highly Selective Turn-On Colorimetric, Red Fluorescent Sensor for Detecting Mobile Zinc in Living Cells

We describe ZRL1, a turn-on colorimetric and red fluorescent zinc ion sensor. The Zn2+-promoted ring opening of the rhodamine spirolactam ring in ZRL1 evokes a 220-fold fluorescence turn-on response. In aqueous media, ZRL1 turn-on luminescence is highly selective for Zn2+ ions, with no significant r...
