title: A rhodamine based "turn-on" chemodosimeter for monitoring gold ions in synthetic samples and living cells.
abstract: A rhodamine-based fluorescent probe, functionalized with an alkyne moiety, shows highly selective recognition towards Au(i) and Au(iii) ions over other metal ions. Probe is successfully employed for the determination of residual gold species in synthetic samples and monitoring the accumulation of gold ions in living cells.
