Abstract

New pyrrolic viscosity sensors exhibit one order of magnitude higher fluorescence contrast compared to that of the conventional phenolic analogues due to the viscosity-sensitive rotation of the asymmetric pyrrole group and successfully demonstrate mapping of intracellular viscosity by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy.
