Abstract

An original redox-responsive fluorescent probe combining a rhodamine derivative and a ferrocenyl moiety used as the fluorescence modulator was designed, synthesized and characterized. The fluorescence of this new dyad could be tuned from the redox state of ferrocene, a feature observed both electrochemically and on cancer cells incubated with this probe.
