title: A new trend in rhodamine-based chemosensors: application of spirolactam ring-opening to sensing ions.
abstract: This tutorial review focuses on the recent development of rhodamine derivatives, in which the spirolactam (non-fluorescent) to ring-opened amide (fluorescent) process was utilized.
