A new red fluorescent probe 1 based on BODIPY skeleton has been successfully synthesized through introduction of 2-(thiophen-2-yl) quinoline moiety at meso - and 3-position, which exhibits excellent optical performance, including high fluorescence quantum yield, large pseudo Stokes' shift as well as high selectivity and sensitivity towards iridium (III) ion in aqueous solution and in living cells.
