A ratiometric ESIPT probe based on 2-aza-cope rearrangement for rapid and selective detection of formaldehyde in living cells Tingting Quan, Zhenhao Liang, Huaiting Pang, Guanling Zeng and Tongsheng Chen Abstract 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.
