Resumen:
We describe the synthesis and characterization of a
ruthenium-bipyridyl complex bearing a rhodamine-based
fluorescent ligand. The complex is weakly fluorescent due
to the quenching of rhodamine. Upon irradiation of the
MLCT band it releases rhodamine in a fast and clean
heterolytic reaction, increasing its fluorescence nearly
6-fold and making it the first visible-light activatable
fluorophore based in transition metal chemistry. These
properties and its lack of toxicity make it a good candidate
for its use as a biologically friendly caged fluorescent
probe. The use of this probe as a neuronal marker, and
as a flow profiler in a thin, planar cavity and in a model
flow injection analysis (FIA) is demonstrated.
