A novel switchable [2]rotaxane driven by light energy with Rhodamine B as a stopper

Synthesis and evaluation of a novel Rhodamine B pyrene [2]rotaxane as an intracellular delivery agent for doxorubicin

RhBPy [2]rotaxane has been demonstrated to be an efficient transport agent for delivering the cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) into tumor cells.

Synthesis of a new highly sensitive near-infrared fluorescent iridium(iii) probe and its application for the highly selective detection of glutathione

A new near-IR fluorescent probe (probe 1) based on the IR 780 skeleton exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity towards Ir(iii) in an EtOH/H₂O solution. The probe 1–Ir(iii) complex was also used for the highly selective detection of glutathione.
