SpiroZin1: A Reversible and pH-Insensitive, Reaction-Based, Red-Fluorescent Probe for Imaging Biological Mobile Zinc

A reversible, reaction-based sensor for biological mobile zinc was designed, prepared, and characterized. The sensing mechanism of this probe is based on the zinc-induced, ring-opening reaction of spirobenzopyran to give a cyanine fluorophore that emits in the deep-red region of the electromagnetic...
