Abstract
On the basis of rhodamine, a versatile trifunctional chemosensor RP has been synthesized. It can selectively and sensitively recognize Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ in different solutions. Based on the zinc-containing [RP@Zn 2+] complex, it shows highly selective recognition for His/Cys. Fluorescent imaging of Zn 2+ in living cells was also obtained.
