Fluorescence spectroscopy of gas-phase ions generated through electrospray ionization is
an emerging technique able to probe intrinsic molecular photophysics directly without …

The fluorescence quantum yield (Φf), fluorescence lifetime (τf), intersystem crossing
quantum yield (Φisc) and redox potentials of seven halogenated fluoresceins in their …

Fluorescein is a representative green fluorophore that has been widely used as a scaffold of
practically useful green fluorescent probes. Here, we report synthesis and characterization …

A visible‐light‐excitable, ratiometric, brightly fluorescent pH indicator for measurements in
the pH range 5–7 has been designed and synthesized by conjugatively linking the BODIPY …

Since the very early years of microscopy development, scientists have pursued the ability to
observe live cellular activity in order to probe the processes occurring inside cells in real …

Phosphate ions play important roles in signal transduction and energy storage in biological
systems. However, robust chemical sensors capable of real-time quantification of phosphate …

UV-vis absorption, steady state fluorescence emission, time-correlated single photon
counting and laser flash photolysis methods were employed to examine the excited state …

Highly ordered, self-organized assemblies of organic molecules at surfaces of metal
particles with sizes in the nanometer regime have been a subject of immense interest in …

The stepwise ionization (H3R+⇄ H2R⇄ HR−⇄ R2−) of four fluorescein fluoro derivatives
was studied by visible spectroscopy. The p K a values were determined in water, in 50 …

Dyes with near-red emission are of great interest because of their undoubted advantages for
use as probes in living cells. In-depth knowledge of their photophysics is essential for …
