Abstract
A visible light excitable rhodamine based probe operates as a SCN <sup>-</sup> selective fluorescent "turn-on" sensor for living cell imaging with a detection limit of 0.01 μM, which is much lower than the normal SCN<sup>-</sup> level in the human body. A "lock" and "key" model has been proposed to explain the fluorescence enhancement of the rhodamine probe in the presence of SCN<sup>-</sup>. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
