Ruthenium(II) complexes have rich photophysical attributes, which enable novel design of responsive luminescence probes to selectively quantify biochemical analytes. In this work, we developed a systematic series of Ru(II)-bipyrindine complex derivatives, [Ru(bpy)(3-n)(DNP-bpy)(n)](PF(6))(2) (n = 1, 2, 3; bpy, 2,2'-bipyridine; DNP-bpy

A BODIPY-based selective thiophenol probe capable of discriminating aliphatic thiols is reported. The fluorescence off-on effect upon reaction with thiol is elucidated with theoretical calculations. The sensing of thiophenol is associated with a color change from red to yellow and

The preparation and thermal stability of benzenethiol and benzeneselenol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) grown on Au(111) have been investigated by electrochemical experiments and high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. Both techniques confirm the formation of monolayers with high packing densities (θ = 0.27-0.29 ML)
