Nanoscale UiO-MOF-based luminescent sensors for highly selective detection of cysteine and glutathione and their application in bioimaging

Abstract

We report a practical approach, the first of its kind, to construct nanoscale UiO-type metal–organic framework (Mi-UiO-66 and Mi-UiO-67) fluorescent probes for the detection of Cys and GSH. They showed high sensitivity (10−11 M) and selectivity for Cys and GSH, and their fluorescence imaging of Cys and GSH in living cells was well demonstrated.
