title: FRET-based sensor for imaging chromium(III) in living cells.
abstract: On the basis of fluorescent resonance energy transfer from 1,8-naphthalimide to rhodamine, a fluorophore dyad (FD8) containing rhodamine and a naphthalimide moiety was synthesized as a Cr3+-selective fluorescent probe for monitoring Cr3+ in living cells with ratiometric fluorescent methods.
