    A Guanidinium Modified Rhodamine-Based Fluorescent Probe for in Vitro/Vivo Imaging of Gold Ions
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Karakuş, Erman; Çakan Akdoğan, Gülçin; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa
    We devised a rhodamine-based fluorescent probe functionalized with a guanidinium moiety, which both operates efficiently in pure aqueous media and displays a selective fluorescence response to Au3+ ions. We also demonstrated the successful fluorescence imaging of Au3+ within living cells and a vertebrate species, the zebrafish.

    A Bodipy-Based Fluorescent Probe for Ratiometric Detection of Gold Ions: Utilization Of: Z -Enynol as the Reactive Unit
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016) Üçüncü, Muhammed; Karakuş, Erman; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa
    Using an irreversible intramolecular cyclisation pathway triggered by gold ions, a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) based fluorescent probe integrated with a reactive Z-enynol motif responds selectively to gold ions. With the addition of gold(iii), the probe displays ratiometric fluorescence behaviour clearly observable to the naked eye under both visible and UV light. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016.

    Rhodamine-Immobilised Electrospun Chitosan Nanofibrous Material as a Fluorescence Turn-On Hg2+ Sensor
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Horzum, Nesrin; Mete, Derya; Karakuş, Erman; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    A turn-on fluorescence sensing system for mercuric (Hg2+) ions relying on a modified rhodamine B–chitosan fluorophore moiety was developed. This novel sensing approach relies on the simultaneous electrospinning of chitosan and rhodamine B hydrazide with phenylisothiocyanate functionality in hexafluoroisopropanol solution at 3.4 kV cm−1. The electrospun mats exhibited not only considerably enhanced fluorescence intensity in the presence of mercury ions, a result attributed to the ring opening of the spirolactam unit of the rhodamine-based fluorophore, but also a remarkably high sensitivity and selectivity toward Hg2+. In effect, the strategy has the potential to open new avenues in the design and development of other high-performance nanofibrous sensing materials for detecting target metal species of environmental interest.
