Abstract

Abstract:

Selective recognition of hypochlorite ion （ClO^－） in intracellular biological environment is important for research and application in cellular physiology and pathology. A novel fluorescent molecule， 6-bis（dimethylamino）-9-（1-（3-methyl-benzothiazole）-trimethyl）-xanthene （R-1）， is designed and synthesized with a combination of dimethylamino-substituted xanthene and benzothiazole segments through continuous carbon-carbon double bonds. In the presence of ClO^－， the fluorescence emission of R-1 at 600 nm is significantly enhanced （the quantum yield is as high as 20.3%）， and other reactive oxygen species do not affect the recognition of ClO^－. Fluorescence imaging experiments demonstrate that probe R-1 can detect ClO^－ in human lung adenocarinoma （A549） cells and emit red fluorescence， indicating the potential application of R-1 in ClO^－ biological imaging.
