A new AIE-active fluorophore that exhibits a rapid and highly selective ratiometric response to Zn2+ with a limit of detection (LOD) up to 2.6 nm is reported. Furthermore, the fluorophore was successfully applied in ratiometric imaging of intracellular Zn2+ in human hepatoma cancer cells by fluorescent confocal microscopy. More information can be found in the Full Paper by W. Gong, M. Watkinson, G. Ning et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.201701948).
