title: Dual mode ratiometric recognition of zinc acetate: nanomolar detection with in vitro tracking of endophytic bacteria in rice root tissue.
abstract: Several naphthalene-based aldazine derivatives were developed as efficient colorimetric and fluorescence probes for selective ratiometric recognition of traces of zinc acetate. The derivative structures were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The probes were used for in vitro tracking of zinc acetate in endophytic bacteria within rice root tissue and to image zinc acetate in human breast cancer cells (MCF7) by normal and fluorescence microscopy. Density functional theoretical studies were in close agreement with the experimental findings.
