A simple molecule, tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (4F-2CN), was discovered to be an efficient fluorescent probe for detecting biological thiol species. The probe responded to Cys and emitted strong green fluorescence, whereas it reacted with Hcy/GSH and generated blue fluorescence. Addition of CTAB (cetyl trimethylammonium bromide) was observed to alter the fluorescence color of the reaction product of 4F-2CN and Hcy (from blue to green), but no alteration of the fluorescence color occurred for C ...[more]
