Development of fluorescent sensors based on a combination of PET (photo-induced electron transfer) and FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) for detection of water

Abstract

Fluorescent sensors <bold>DJ-1</bold> and <bold>DJ-2</bold> with a large Stokes shift (SS) based on a combination of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) for the detection of water in solvents have been developed.
