Front Cover: Highly K+‐Selective Fluorescent Probes for Lifetime Sensing of K+ in Living Cells (Chem. Eur. J. 68/2017)

Coupling of K+ selective N‐(o‐isopropoxy)phenylaza‐18‐crown‐6 with [1,3]dioxolo[4,5‐f][1,3]benzo‐dioxole ester fluorophore yields a new fluorescent probe for the sensing of K+ by increasing the averaged fluorescence decay time (τf(av)). This fluorescent tool is a good candidate for a reliable analys...

Description
Summary:Coupling of K+ selective N‐(o‐isopropoxy)phenylaza‐18‐crown‐6 with [1,3]dioxolo[4,5‐f][1,3]benzo‐dioxole ester fluorophore yields a new fluorescent probe for the sensing of K+ by increasing the averaged fluorescence decay time (τf(av)). This fluorescent tool is a good candidate for a reliable analysis of physiologically relevant K+ levels by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) in vivo.
