Abstract

Fluorescence imaging technology has developed rapidly with its advantages, and near-infrared probes are worthy of attention because of their less background interference, low light damage, and infinite potential. Rhodamine and its derivatives have the unique structure of lactam helices, which is an ideal platform for the construction of on-off fluorescent sensors. In this paper, a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe (RBLS) based on rhodamine derivatives was synthesized for the transient detection of mercury ions. The closed-on structure can realize reversible sensor recovery by adding S2-. The superior imaging capability in living cells and in vivo in zebrafish holds promise for biological applications. In addition, the naked eye test strips prepared with RBLS probes can be used to detect and screen Hg2+ in the environment and show good gradient change performance.
