We report two new near-infrared fluorescent probes based on Rhodol counterpart fluorophore platforms functionalized with dipicolylamine Zn(II)-binding groups. The combinations of the pendant amines and fluorophores provide the probes with an effective three-nitrogen-atom and one-oxygen-atom binding motif. The fluorescent probes with large Stokes shifts offer sensitive and selective florescent responses to Zn(II) ions over other metal ions, allowing a reversible monitoring of Zn(II) concentration changes in living cells, and detecting intracellular Zn(II) ions released from intracellular metalloproteins.
