Abstract

As outlined in Sect. 1.7, the design of a fluorescent probe requires the selection of appropriate fluorophores and a suitable redox responsive group.

Parts of the text and figures of this chapter are reprinted from Chemical Communications, Issue 50, and Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry Issue 24, with permission from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
