Abstract
A new ratiometric fluorescent sensor for Cu2+, WLN, has been developed via integrating a 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore with 8-aminoquinoline. WLN exhibits a highly selective ratiometric response to Cu2+ over other transition metal ions in aqueous media. Moreover, its practical ratiometric imaging ability for intracellular Cu2+ has been confirmed in human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7 cells) using a confocal microscope.
