Abstract
Near-Infrared "turn on" type fluorescent probes are attractive and promising in the fields of chemical sensing and bioimaging. Here, a new dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran derivative (DCM-Si) NIR fluorescent probe was designed and synthesized for specific lighting up F- in living cells and bodies. SiO bond was used as F- trigger, and the release of fluorophore (DCM-NH2) occurred after substituent reaction and subsequent 1,6-elimination. This NIR probe displayed high sensitivity and selectivity for the sensing of F-, and the detection limit was calculated to be as low as 157 nM. Moreover, the "off-on" fluorescent signal changes can be realized by adding F- in living cells and zebrafish embryos.
