A highly selective and sensitive colorimetric and near-infrared fluorescent turn-on probe for rapid detection of palladium in drugs and living cells

Palladium contamination has attracted widespread attention due to the toxicity and the wide use of palladium species. Consequently, development of convenient and effective methods for palladium detection is of great importance. Herein, a new colorimetric and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent turn-on probe based on the Tsuji-Trost reaction for palladium was developed. This probe can be used to detect palladium in aqueous solution (for example, in...
