title: FRET-based ratiometric fluorescent probes for selective Fe3+ sensing and their applications in mitochondria.
abstract: Efficient ratiometric fluorescent Fe(3+) probes were designed and synthesized by linking a conjugated naphthalene chromophore to a rhodamine platform and a lipophilic triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation. The probes could sensitively and selectively detect mitochondrial Fe(3+) in living cells.
