A fluorescence probe 2 containing 4-hydroxystyryl at the 3-position on the boron fluoride dipyrromethene(BODIPY) fluorophore was successfully synthesized in high yield using the 4-formylphenyl picolinate as the starting material instead of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Probe 2 exhibits excellent optical performance, including good solubility, high extinction coefficient and high fluorescence quantum yield (Ф=0.90 in CH₃OH). The absorption and emission bands of probe 2 are centered at 570 and 585 nm in CH₃OH, respectively. When the pH value of the solution changes from acidity to basicity, both positive fluorescence response and visual color change make naked-eye detection of pH value possible due to the deprotonation of hydroxyl group. With the addition of Fe³⁺ ions into the solution, visual color changes and blue shift of the absorption and fluorescence peak were detected as well. Hence, the probe 2 could also be used as a ratiometric fluorescent probe for selectively monitoring Fe³⁺ ion in solution and in living cells.
