title = "Selective BODIPY{\textregistered} based fluorescent chemosensor for imaging Pb 2+ ion in living cells",
abstract = "A new fluorescent probe has been designed and synthesized by linking dicarboxylate pseudocrown ether to the BODIPY{\textregistered} (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a- diaza-s-indacene) fluorophore. The probe allows determination of free lead ions in living cells.",
