title: Benzo[a]phenoxazinium-based red-emitting chemosensor for zinc ions in biological media.
abstract: A benzo[a]phenoxazinium-based chemosensor bearing an N,N-di(2-picolyl)ethylenediamine unit was successfully synthesized. It is a long-wave emission and fully water-soluble fluorescent sensor with good membrane permeability for the selective detection of Zn(2+).
