title: Aqueous fluorescence turn-on sensor for Zn2+ with a tetraphenylethylene compound.
abstract: A new sensitive and selective fluorescence turn-on sensor for Zn(2+) (1) was developed by taking advantage of the aggregation-induced emission of the tetraphenylethylene framework. In addition, the corresponding ester precursor of 1 was successfully used for intracellular Zn(2+) imaging.
