Abstract

The first Eu(3+) chelate-based luminescent probe specific for nitric oxide (NO) has been designed and synthesized for highly sensitive and selective time-gated luminescence detection of NO. Based on the probe, a time-gated luminescence imaging technique was developed for imaging the endogenous NO production in living plant cells/tissues.
