title: A ratiometric fluorescent formaldehyde probe for bioimaging applications.
abstract: We have described a ratiometric fluorescent formaldehyde probe (RFFP) based on the 6-hydroxy naphthalene chromophore for the first time. The probe is suitable for ratiometric detection of formaldehyde both in the solution and living biological samples with two distinct emission bands.
