title: Selective and sensitive "turn-on" fluorescent Zn2+ sensors based on di- and tripyrrins with readily modulated emission wavelengths.
abstract: Di- and tripyrrin sensors D1-D4 exhibit CHEF-type fluorescence enhancement by factors up to 72 upon addition of 1 equiv. Zn(2+), with tunable emission colours between green (D1) and red (D4).
