The majority of viscosity-sensitive chemosensors that have been reported thus far are summarized and there are some fluorescent probes that can be used to quantify intracellular Viscosity when combined with fluorescence lifetime (FLIM) and ratiometric imaging under water-free conditions.
Abstract
<p>Microenvironment-related parameters like viscosity, polarity, and pH play important roles in controlling the physical or chemical behaviors of local molecules, which determine the physical or chemical behaviors of surrounding molecules.</p>
