title: Selective ratiometric detection of H2O2 in water and in living cells with boronobenzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives.
abstract: Boronobenzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives exhibit several favorable properties for the fluorimetric detection of hydrogen peroxide, namely quantitative transformation to a product whose emission maximum is well separated from the one of the substrate, water solubility, and the ability to operate in living cells.
