Dendrimers are hyperbranched macromolecules, having a large number of terminal functions, easily accessible and modifiable to afford the desired properties. Metal complexes dendrimers frequently used as catalysts in diverse reactions, but they can be also innovative biological tools. This review focusses on recent advances (last 10 years) dendritic metal for bioimaging, essentially vivo. Three ...

A novel naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe employing a sulfonamide unit as a thiol-responsive group is reported. It is capable of efficiently distinguishing GSH from cysteine and homocysteine. Bioimaging shows that it has high selectivity in living cells and can visualize the level of GSH in lysosomes. It is worth mentioning that different groups on the imide unit can affect the selectivity ...

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) have been produced by a new facile "bottom-up" synthesis, using the room-temperature reaction between acetonitrile and sodium-naphthalene. The obtained hydrophobic CDs are monodisperse (∼2.6 nm) and present an excitation-independent emission at ∼588 nm with a small full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of ∼52 nm. The CDs can be simply modified to be hydrosoluble and...
