Chloride ions are central to many biological processes and measuring the concentration of chloride ions in biological fluids can help diagnose a number of diseases, including cystic fibrosis. Scientists from the US have synthesised a squaraine rotaxane which can detect chloride ions via colorimetric naked eye detection and fluorescence. This is the first example of a ratiometric chloride sensor that emits in the deep red region.
