Abstract
This report discloses a series of naphthalimide-based bifunctional fluorescent probes for hydrogen peroxide and diols. As a result, these molecules not only demonstrated high turn-on fluorescent response and good selectivity towards hydrogen peroxide over other relevant reactive oxygen species, but also displayed different responses to diols. Therefore, these fluorescent probes could be served as sensitive, selective and practical chemosensors for both hydrogen peroxide and diols under physiological-like conditions.
