《Selective recognition of Zn(II) ions in live cells based on chelation enhanced near-infrared fluorescent probe》 was written by Zhang, Yibin; Yuan, Binfang; Ma, Dongge. Synthetic Route of C12H13N3This research focused onZn chelation IR fluorescent probe. The article conveys some information:
A near-IR fluorescent (NIR) probe NR-Zn (I), which consists of a dicyanoisophorone derivative and an Zn(II) ion recongnitive dipicolylamine moiety, was synthesized and applied to detect Zn(II) ions concentration change in living cell. This NR-Zn probe exhibits a strong turn-on fluorescence response toward Zn(II) ions when excited at 545 nm and has other advantages, such as rapid response (<20 s), large Stokes shift (131 nm), low cytotoxicity and good photostability. Moreover, it has been succesfully applied to monitor Zn(II) ions in Hela cells. In addition to this study using Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine, there are many other studies that have used Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine(cas: 1539-42-0Synthetic Route of C12H13N3) was used in this study.
Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine(cas: 1539-42-0) is a secondary amine with two picolyl substituents. The compound is a tridentate ligand in coordination chemistry and commonly used to produce Zn-based chemosensors/probes, such as Zinpry.Synthetic Route of C12H13N3
