With the addition of gold(iii), the probe displays ratiometric fluorescence behaviour clearly observable to the naked eye under both visible and UV light. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGold ionsBODIPYFluorescence imagingZ-enynolArticle2-s2.0-8497625905310.1039/c6cc04100k
