A fast-responsive two-photon fluorescent probe for detecting palladium(0) with a large turn-on fluorescence signal

• A new two-photon fluorescent probe based on the GCTPOC two-photon fluorescent dye is designed and synthesized for detecting palladium(0) with fast response (6 min).
• And ideal properties including good selectivity, high sensitivity and low cytotoxicity are depicted. A 130-fold fluorescence enhancement was obtained.
• The new GCTPOC-Pd(0) probe could be employed to image Pd(0) in living cells and tissues with significant fluorescence emerging up to 170 μm by the way of two-photon fluorescence microscopy.
