title: A highly selective colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent chemodosimeter for imaging fluoride ions in living cells.
abstract: A simple but highly selective colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent chemodosimeter was designed and synthesized to detect fluoride ions (F(-)) in aqueous solution and living cells by virtue of the strong affinity of F(-) toward silicon.
