A new Cu(II)-complex is used as a {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}Turn-On{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} luminescence probe for specific detection of endogenous Cys in live Hct116 cells and Cys present in human blood plasma without any interference from other amino acids, especially GSH and Hcy. Difference in the mechanistic pathway for Cys and His recognition is discussed.

A new coumarin-rhodamine conjugate is used as a specific probe for Pd2+ ions and this could even delineate Pd(II) from Pd(0) or Pd(IV) in aqueous buffer medium (pH similar to 7). Laser confocal microscopic studies reveal that efficient cellular internalization of this reagent helps in imaging the cellular uptake of Pd2+ as low as 0.1 ppm in Hct 116 cells. This reagent could even be used for estimation of Pd2+ in human urine samples.
