Abstract: A colorimetric chemosensor molecule having a aza-macrocycle Zn (II)-complex (L.Zn) (Scheme 1, Formula 1A) which can recognize selectively and efficiently ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), a biologically significant triphosphate in aqueous medium at pH 7.4 is described. Since ATP is the source of energy in living organisms, L.Zn (Scheme 1, Formula 1A) can also be used as a staining agent in the living cells through binding to ATP, generated in situ during the metabolic process.

Abstract: An oil-soluble dye prepared by subjecting a water-soluble dye having at least one group selected from the group consisting of sulfonate group and carboxyl group in its molecule to amidation: a water-based ink comprising the oil-soluble dye: and a process for preparing an oil-soluble dye, comprising halogenating a water-soluble dye having at least one group selected from the group consisting of sulfonate group and carboxyl group in its molecule, and thereafter subjecting the resulting halogenated water-soluble dye to amidation.
