In this work, a new rhodamine chemosensor (P) with excellent photochromic properties upon vis irradiation was designed and synthesized. The fabricated chemosensor P could detect Al the opening of the spirolactam ring of the rhodamine unit with high selectivity and sensitivity. The spirolactam ring opening was confirmed by NMR and infrared spectroscopy. Upon binding with Al, the generated 1 : 1 P-Al complex, confirmed by Job's plot titrations and mass spectrometry analysis, could exhibit a remarkable fluorescence enhancement with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.16 μM. Furthermore, the sensing of P to Al was also studied quantitatively and qualitatively in detail, and the results showed that the coordination between P with Al was reversible in living cells.

The long-term visualization of intracellular Fe dynamics and lysosomal activity is crucial for investigating the physiological roles and functions of lysosomes during the growth of organisms. The lysosome-targeted fluorescent probe (RBH-EdC), derived from rhodamine-nucleoside conjugates, demonstrates a sophisticated dual-activation design: one is Fe⁺ response, triggering spirolactam ring-opening to form xanthine structures, resulting in ≥ 1000-fold fluorescence enhancement with visible colorimetric transition (colorless→pink). Another is pH sensitivity, demonstrating protonation-dependent fluorescence amplification at the dC at site N3 (pK= 2.

Rhodamine dye has a high absorption coefficient, fluorescence quantum yield, photostability, and extended wavelengths that make it a promising fluorescent probe. A rhodamine and functionalised azobenzene condensed novel chemosensor L has been reported for the first time to detect Hg in aqueous ethanol optically in this investigation. Chemosensor L's fluorescence activation in response to Hg is due to the suppression of PET and CHEF processes and the change from spirolactam to ring-opened amide.

Palindromic antimicrobial peptides (PAMs) constitute versatile scaffolds for the design and optimization of anticancer agents with applications in therapy, diagnosis, and/or monitoring. In the present study, fluorolabeled peptides derived from the palindromic sequence RWQWRWQWR containing fluorescent probes, such as 2-Aminobenzoyl, 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein, and Rhodamine B, were obtained. RP-HPLC analysis revealed that the palindromic peptide conjugated to Rhodamine B (RhB-RWQWRWQWR) exhibited the presence of isomers, likely corresponding to the open-ring and spiro-lactam forms of the fluorescent probe.

Rapid-response sensors are promising tools to detect trace water in organic solvents; however, accurate quantification in alcoholic solvents remains challenging due to competitive coordination from hydroxyl groups. Herein, a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-mode sensor based on rhodamine B-aluminum complex (RhB-Al) has been developed for the detection of trace water in methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and 1-butanol. The RhB-Al complex demonstrates rapid response (< 10 s), high sensitivity (detection limits [v/v]): 0.

Salicylic acid (SA) functions as a critical phytohormone coordinating developmental regulation and defense responses in plants. Understanding SA's regulatory roles in both homeostasis and stress adaptation necessitates advanced monitoring platforms. We designed six rhodamine probes (R1-R6) containing spirolactam or spirohydrazone bridges to systematically evaluate five-membered spiro structures for SA detection.
