| Abstract: | BODIPY‐based fluorescent chemosensors bearing sulfoxide function were designed and evaluated. Thiols triggered sulfoxide→sulfide transduction in these probes leads to an obvious red‐shift in absorption and dramatic fluorescence enhancement with distinctly ratiometric features, enabling the accurate assay of thiols in living cells. |
