title: A three-photon probe with dual emission colors for imaging of Zn(II) ions in living cells.
abstract: A novel three-photon probe for the imaging of exogenous Zn(II) ions in live cells with varying emission colors under three-photon excitation is developed. The tuning of the charge transfer state and the emission color of the probe was also demonstrated in the presence of acid.
