Conspectus This Account describes a range of strategies for the development of fluorescent
probes for detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and …

Fluorescence imaging techniques have been widely used to visualize biological molecules
and phenomena. In particular, several studies on the development of small-molecule …

Boron dipyrromethene (Bodipy) is one of the most extensively investigated organic
chromophores. Most of the investigations are focused on the singlet excited state of Bodipy …

Chromogenic and fluorogenic probes may be described as the reagents that can interact
with analytes (targets) accompanied by the changes of their spectroscopic (chromogenic, or …

Fluorescence imaging is a powerful approach for noninvasive and real-time visualization
and tracking of biomolecules and biological processes in living systems. The fluorescent …

Triplet photosensitizers (PSs) are compounds that can be efficiently excited to the triplet
excited state which subsequently act as catalysts in photochemical reactions. The name is …

Complex intracellular environment of cells, which involves interaction of a large variety of bio-
molecules, is a dynamic medium with full of important information that can be recovered as …

Fluorescent probes for biothiols have aroused increasing interest owing to their potential to
enable better understanding of the diverse physiological and pathological processes related …

Conspectus In an aerobic organism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an inevitable
metabolic byproduct. Endogenously produced ROS have a significant role in physiological …

We report a ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on monochlorinated BODIPY for highly
selective detection of glutathione (GSH) over cysteine (Cys)/homocysteine (Hcy). The …
