Can Fluorescence Interference be Used Beneficially?
Interestingly, fluorescence interference isn't always detrimental. In some cases, the fluorescence properties of catalysts or reactants can be harnessed for beneficial purposes: - Fluorescent Probes: Design of fluorescent probes can help in selectively monitoring specific species in the reaction. - Mechanistic Studies: Fluorescence can be used to track the formation and consumption of intermediates, offering valuable mechanistic insights. - Catalyst Design: Understanding fluorescence properties can aid in designing catalysts with dual functionalities, such as catalytic activity and fluorescence sensing.
