Popis: Formaldehyde (FA) is a crucial reactive signaling molecule participating in epigenetic and metabolic pathway. Whereas abnormally elevated levels of FA are implicated in various diseases spanning from tumors to neurodegenerative disorders. Although highly selective for FA, current 2-aza-Cope-based fluorescent probes leave room for improvement because their relatively slow reaction kinetics (1-9 hours for responsive time) hinder the capability to track biological transient FA. Herein, we presented a ratiometric fluorescent probe, FormAFP, based on excited state intramolecular photon transfer (ESIPT) for rapid (within 10 min), selective (above 70-fold over other RCS) and sensitive (240-times fluorescence enhancement with 66 nM of detection limit) detection of FA via 2-aza-cope rearrangement. The probe also displayed fast response (
