Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new way to generate nitroxyl (HNO) without using liquids or harsh conditions, by reacting a gas with a solid donor.
- This method is quick and cost-effective, allowing for the production of gaseous HNO.
- The detection of HNO was achieved through both indirect methods, like measuring nitrous oxide with infrared spectroscopy, and direct methods using mass spectrometry and an electrochemical sensor.
We describe a method based on a caged fluorescent molecule that can act as a chemical two-photon probe. It is composed of an organic fluorophore and a ruthenium-bipyridine complex that acts as a photoremovable quencher. For the fluorophore to be emissive, two independent photons must act on the molecule: the first photon frees the fluorescent ligand from the Ru complex and the second photon excites the fluorescence.

They usually expel one ligand heterolytically upon absorption of blue or green light. However, their absorption capabilities at wavelengths longer than 500 nm are poor.

The system consists of a photoactive Ruthenium complex capable of inducing a change of more than 5 pH units at the nanosecond time scale. A compatible imaging system acquires microscopic pH images at 1200 fps using a nonexpensive commercial digital camera and an LED illumination system.
