HNO has recently been found to possess distinct biological functions from NO. Studying the biological functions of HNO calls for the development of sensitive and selective fluorescent probes. Herein, we designed and synthesized a FRET-based ratiometric probe to detect HNO in living cells. Our studies revealed that the probe is capable of detecting HNO in a rapid and ratiometric manner under physiological conditions. In bioimaging studies, the probe displayed a clear color change from blue to green when treated with HNO.

This work describes the successful design and synthesis of a new fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensor, denoted as RD1. This sensor incorporates a robust dual-fluorophore design, which combines a rhodamine and a dansyl derivative, functionalized with a thiosemicarbazide group that acts as Hg(II) specific recognition site. A synthetic pathway was developed that allowed the efficient synthesis of RD1 with a remarkable overall yield of 44% over four steps, through microwave-assisted protocols.

The concentration of zinc ions in semen is significantly correlated with sperm viability and male fertility. In this work, a reliable ratiometric fluorescence probe (ZIF-9-TCPP) based on the efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process between two luminophores, benzimidazole (BIM) and -tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) for Zn detection has been constructed, where the emissions of BIM and TCPP are used as reference and detection signals. The proximity of BIM and TCPP in one framework (ZIF-9-TCPP) and the overlapped spectra between BIM and TCPP afford the attainment of a highly efficient FRET (around 90% efficiency).

The development of novel fluorescent probes for real-time detection of cyanides (CN) in environmental and biological systems has become a significant focus in chemical sensing. Particularly, ratiometric fluorescence sensing offers a unique method for precise and quantitative detection of cyanides, even under complex conditions. We report herein the design of a new ratiometric fluorescent probe for cyanides based on modulation of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) coupled with novel cyanide-induced nucleophilic substitution of aromatic hydrogen (SNArH).

Cystatin C (Cys C), a crucial renal disease marker for chronic kidney disease (CKD), plays a vital role in early diagnosis and treatment guidance. However, most current methods for detecting Cys C rely on a single signal and find it difficult to perform noninvasive and portable diagnosis. Here, we developed a ratiometric fluorescent carbon dot (CD) detection system for point-of-care testing (POCT) of Cys C through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET).

β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD)-functionalized carbon quantum dots (CDs) loaded with curcumin (CCM) were used for ClOsensing with high sensitivity and selectivity. This fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensor was created through attaching CCM to the CDs via β-CD linker. CCM could get into the interior of β-CD triggering the FRET from CDs to CCM, providing an 'off' state of the CDs.
