A Boron Dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-Based CuII-Bipyridine Complex for Highly Selective NO Detection

A BODIPY‐containing CuII–bipyridine complex for the simple selective fluorogenic detection of NO in air and in live cells is reported. The detection mechanism is based on NO‐promoted CuII to CuI reduction, followed by demetallation of the complex, which results in the clearly enhanced emission of th...

Description
Summary:A BODIPY‐containing CuII–bipyridine complex for the simple selective fluorogenic detection of NO in air and in live cells is reported. The detection mechanism is based on NO‐promoted CuII to CuI reduction, followed by demetallation of the complex, which results in the clearly enhanced emission of the boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) unit. Cell chemistry: A boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)‐containing CuII–bipyridine complex for the selective fluorogenic detection of NO in air and in live cells is reported (see scheme). The detection mechanism is based on NO‐promoted CuII to CuI reduction, followed by demetallation of the complex, which results in the enhanced emission of the BODIPY unit.
