Abstract
Two new cationic meso-thiazolium-BODIPY-based water-soluble and red-shifted fluorescent probes were constructed for the first time. They can monitor cellular viscosity in dual organelles and show aggregation-induced emission (AIE), which is ascribed to the efficient restricted rotation of meso-thiazolium in viscous or hindered systems. Probe 3 with an N-benzyl group shows better AIE as compared to probe 2 with an N-methyl group.

Abstract
The successful implementation of photothermal therapy (PTT) in cancer treatment hinges on the development of highly effective photothermal agents (PTAs). Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, being well known for their high brightness and quantum efficiencies, are the antithesis of PTAs. Nonetheless, a systematic exploration of the photophysics and photothermal characteristics of a series of π-extended BODIPY dyes with high absorptivity in the near-infrared (NIR) region has achieved superior photothermal conversion efficiencies (>90%), in both monomeric state and nanoparticles after encapsulation in a biocompatible polyethyleneglycol 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy-(polyethylene glycol)-2000]. Optimal PTA candidates combine strong NIR absorption provided by extended donor-acceptor conjugation and an optimization of the electronic and steric effects of meso-substituents to maximize photothermal conversion performance. The PTT-optimized meso-CF3-BODIPY, TCF3PEn exhibits exceptional efficacy in inducing cancer cell apoptosis and in vivo tumor ablation using low-power NIR laser irradiation (0.3 W cm-2, 808 nm) as well as excellent biological safety, underscoring its potential for advancing light-induced cancer therapies.

Abstract
The research on fluorescent rotors for viscosity has attracted extensive interest to better comprehend the close relationships of microviscosity variations with related diseases. Although scientists have made great efforts, fluorescent probes for cellular viscosity with both aggregation-induced emissions (AIEs) and large Stokes shifts to improve sensing properties have rarely been reported. Herein, we first report four new meso-C═N-substituted BODIPY-based rotors with large Stokes shifts, investigate their viscosity/AIE characteristics, and perform cellular imaging of the viscosity in subcellular organelles. Interestingly, the meso-C═N-phenyl group-substituted probe 6 showed an obvious 594 nm fluorescence enhancement in glycerol and a moderate 650 nm red AIE emission in water. Further, on attaching CF3 to the phenyl group, a similar phenomenon was observed for 7 with red-shifted emissions, attributed to the introduction of a phenyl group, which plays a key role in the red AIE emissions and large Stokes shifts. Comparatively, for phenyl-group-free probes, both the meso-C═N-trifluoroethyl group and thiazole-substituted probes (8 and 9) exhibited good viscosity-responsive properties, while no AIE was observed due to the absence of phenyl groups. For cellular experiments, 6 and 9 showed good lysosomal and mitochondrial targeting properties, respectively, and were further successfully used for imaging viscosity through the preincubation of monensin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), indicating that C═N polar groups potentially work as rotatable moieties and organelle-targeting groups, and the targeting difference might be ascribed to increased charges of thiazole. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the structural relationships of four meso-C═N BODIPY-based rotors with respect to their viscosity/AIE characteristics, subcellular-targeting ability, and cellular imaging for viscosity, potentially serving as AIE fluorescent probes with large Stokes shifts for subcellular viscosity imaging.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most detrimental diseases affecting the human life because it can initiate several other afflictions such as liver damage, kidney malfunctioning, and cardiac inflammation. The primary method for diabetes diagnosis involves the analysis of blood samples to quantify the level of glucose, while secondary diagnostic methods involve the qualitative analysis of obesity, fatigue, etc. However, all these symptoms start showing up only when the patient has been suffering from diabetes for a certain period of time. In order to avoid such delay in diagnosis, the development of specific fluorescent probes has attracted considerable attention. Prominent biomarkers for diabetes include abundance of certain analytes in blood serum, e.g., glucose, methylglyoxal, albumin, and reactive oxygen species; high intracellular viscosity; alteration of enzyme functionality, etc. Among these, high viscosity can greatly affect the fluorescence properties of various chromophores owing to the environment sensitivity of fluorescence spectra. In this review article, we have illustrated the application of some prominent fluorophores such as coumarin, BODIPY, xanthene, and rhodamine in the development of viscosity-dependent fluorescent probes. Detailed mechanistic aspects determining the influence of viscosity on the fluorescent properties of the probes have also been elaborated. Fluorescence mechanisms that are directly affected by the high-viscosity heterogeneous microenvironment are based on intramolecular rotations like twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT), aggregation-induced emission (AIE), and through-bond energy transfer (TBET). In this regard, this review article will be highly useful for researchers working in the field of diabetes treatment and fluorescent probes. It also provides a platform for the planning of futuristic clinical translation of fluorescent probes for the early-stage diagnosis and therapy of diabetes.

Abstract
Two-photon absorbing fluorescent probes have emerged as powerful imaging tools for subcellular-level monitoring of biological substances and processes, offering advantages such as deep light penetration, minimal photodamage, low autofluorescence, and high spatial resolution. However, existing two-photon absorbing probes still face several limitations, such as small two-photon absorption cross-section, poor water solubility, low membrane permeability, and potentially high toxicity. Herein, we report three small-molecule probes, namely MSP-1arm, Lyso-2arm, and Mito-3arm, composed of a pyridinium center (electron-acceptor) and various methoxystyrene "arms" (electron-donor). These probes exhibit excellent fluorescence quantum yield and decent aqueous solubility. Leveraging the inherent intramolecular charge transfer and excitonic coupling effect, these complexes demonstrate excellent two-photon absorption in the near-infrared region. Notably, Lyso-2arm and Mito-3arm exhibit distinct targeting abilities for lysosomes and mitochondria, respectively. In two-photon microscopy experiments, Mito-3arm outperforms a commercial two-photon absorbing dye in 2D monolayer HeLa cells, delivering enhanced resolution, broader NIR light excitation window, and higher signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the two-photon bioimaging of 3D human forebrain organoids confirms the successful deep tissue imaging capabilities of both Lyso-2arm and Mito-3arm. Overall, this work presents a rational design strategy in developing competent two-photon-absorbing probes by varying the number of conjugated "arms" for bioimaging applications.

Abstract
Detecting cell viability is crucial in research involving the precancerous discovery of abnormal cells, the evaluation of treatments, and drug toxicity testing. Although conventional methods afford cumulative results regarding cell viability based on a great number of cells, they do not permit investigating cell viability at the single-cell level. In response, we rationally designed and synthesized a fluorescent probe, PCV-1, to visualize cell viability under the super-resolution technology of structured illumination microscopy. Given its sensitivity to mitochondrial membrane potential and affinity to DNA, PCV-1's ability to stain mitochondria and nucleoli was observed in live and dead cells, respectively. During cell injury induced by drug treatment, PCV-1's migration from mitochondria to the nucleolus was dynamically visualized at the single-cell level. By extension, harnessing PCV-1's excellent photostability and signal-to-noise ratio and by comparing the fluorescence intensity of the two organelles, mitochondria and nucleoli, we developed a powerful analytical assay named organelle ratiometric probing (ORP) that we applied to quantitatively analyze and efficiently assess the viability of individual cells, thereby enabling deeper insights into the potential mechanisms of cell death. In ORP analysis with PCV-1, we identified 0.3 as the cutoff point for assessing whether adding a given drug will cause apparent cytotoxicity, which greatly expands the probe's applicability. To the best of our knowledge, PCV-1 is the first probe to allow visualizing cell death and cell injury under super-resolution imaging, and our proposed analytical assay using it paves the way for quantifying cell viability at the single-cell level.

Abstract
Fluorescent rotors with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and organelle-targeting properties have attracted great attention for sensing subcellular viscosity changes, which could help understand the relationships of abnormal fluctuations with many associated diseases. Despite the numerous efforts spent, it remains rare and urgent to explore the dual-organelle targeting probes and their structural relationships with viscosity-responsive and AIE properties. Therefore, in this work, we reported four meso-five-membered heterocycle-substituted BODIPY-based fluorescent probes, explored their viscosity-responsive and AIE properties, and further investigated their subcellular localization and viscosity-sensing applications in living cells. Interestingly, the meso-thiazole probe 1 showed both good viscosity-responsive and AIE (in pure water) properties and could successfully target both mitochondria and lysosomes, further imaging cellular viscosity changes by treating lipopolysaccharide and nystatin, attributing to the free rotation and potential dual-organelle targeting ability of the meso-thiazole group. The meso-benzothiophene probe 3 with a saturated sulfur only showed good viscosity-responsive properties in living cells with the aggregation-caused quenching effect and no subcellular localization. The meso-imidazole probe 2 showed the AIE phenomenon without an obvious viscosity-responsive property with a C═N bond, while the meso-benzopyrrole probe 4 displayed fluorescence quenching in polar solvents. Therefore, for the first time, we investigated the structure-property relationships of four meso-five-membered heterocycle-substituted BODIPY-based fluorescent rotors with viscosity-responsive and AIE properties, and among these, 1 with a C═N bond and a saturated sulfur on the meso-thiazole, potentially contributing to their corresponding AIE and viscosity-responsive properties, served as a sensitive AIE fluorescent rotor for imaging dual-organelle viscosity in both mitochondria and lysosomes.

Abstract
The intracellular viscosity is an important parameter of the microenvironment and SO2 is a vital gas signal molecule. At present, some dual-response fluorescence probes for simultaneous measurements of viscosity and SO2 derivatives (HSO3-/SO32-) possessed poor water solubility. In this work, we developed a water-soluble fluorescence probe CIJ (0.0864 g/100 mL of water at 20 °C) for simultaneous measurements of viscosity and SO2 derivatives. CIJ exhibited a sensitive fluorescence enhancement to environmental viscosity from 0.97 to 28.04 cP based on a twisted intramolecular charge transfer mechanism and was applied to effective measurement of viscosity in vitro and in vivo. CIJ could also respond to SO2 derivatives with a low detection limit (44 nM) and a fast response time (5 min) based on the nucleophilic addition reaction. Furthermore, CIJ was applied to monitor SO2 derivatives in ratiometric response manner in living cells.

Abstract
Five fluorescent ONO donor-based organotin(IV) complexes, [SnIV(L1-5)Ph2] (1-5), were synthesized by the one-pot reaction method and fully characterized spectroscopically including the single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 2-4. Detailed photophysical characterization of all compounds was performed. All the compounds exhibited high luminescent properties with a quantum yield of 17-53%. Additionally, the results of cellular permeability analysis suggest that they are lipophilic and easily absorbed by cells. Confocal microscopy was used to examine the live cell imaging capability of 1-5, and the results show that the compounds are mostly internalized in mitochondria and exhibit negligible cytotoxicity at imaging concentration. Also, 1-5 exhibited high photostability as compared to the commercial dye and can be used in long-term real-time tracking of cell organelles. Also, it is found that the probes (1-5) are highly tolerable during the changes in mitochondrial morphology. Thus, this kind of low-toxic organotin-based fluorescent probe can assist in imaging of mitochondria within living cells and tracking changes in their morphology.

Abstract
Meso-substituted boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) provide a potential and innovative strategy for the synergistic construction of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probes and fluorescent rotors for monitoring cellular viscosity changes, which play critical roles in understanding the function of viscosity in its closely associated diseases. Therefore, for the first time, a BODIPY-based fluorescent probe (1) with a rotatable meso-benzothiazole group was rationally designed and synthesized, showing both good viscosity-responsive and AIE properties. Probe 1 through direct linkage with the thiazole group, showed nearly no emission in low viscous solvents; however, a strong emission at 534 nm appeared and increased gradually with the increase in viscosity, attributing to the efficient restriction of the rotatable meso-benzothiazole group. The intensity (log I534) displayed a good linear relationship with viscosity (log η) in the viscous range of 0.59-945 cP in methanol/glycerol mixtures. Interestingly, 1 showed enhanced emission at 534 nm in 70% water compared to pure acetonitrile due to the aggregation-induced inhibited rotations. Cellular imaging suggested that 1 could successfully sense lysosomal viscosity changes induced by lipopolysaccharide, nystatin, low temperature, and dexamethasone in living cells, which could be further applied in autophagy monitoring by tracing viscosity changes. As a comparison, its analogue 2 directly linking with the phenyl group showed no viscosity-responsive or AIE properties. Therefore, for the first time, we reported a meso-benzothiazole-BODIPY-based fluorescent rotor with AIE and lysosomal viscosity-responsive properties in nervous cells, which was further applied in monitoring autophagy, and this work thus could provide an innovative strategy for the design of potential AIE and viscosity-responsive probes.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes have been powerful tools for visualizing and quantifying multiple dynamic processes in living cells. However, the currently developed probes are often constructed by conjugation a fluorophore with a recognition moiety and given signal-output after triggering with one singly target interest. Compared with the single-target-activated fluorescent probes mentioned above, the dual-target-activated ones, triggering with one target under stimulus (such as photoirradiation, microenvironment) or another targets, have the advantages of advoiding nonspecific activation and "false positive" results in complicated environments. In recent years, many dual-target-activated fluorescent probes have been developed to detect various biologically relevant species. In view of the importance of a comprehensive understanding of dual-target- activated fluorescent probes, a thorough summary of this topic is urgently needed. However, no comprehensive and critical review on dual target activated fluorescent probes has been published recently. In this review, we focus on the dual-target-activated fluorescent probes and briefly outline their types and current state of development. In each type, the chemical structure, proposed responsive mechanism and application of probes are highlighted. At last, the challenges and prospective opportunities of every type were proposed.

Abstract
A novel viscosity probe (NV1) was developed for assessing cancer cell migration. NV1 can respond to changes of viscosity rapidly and exhibits high sensitivity in HepG2 cells treated with starvation, rotenone and nystatin. Importantly, NV1 was used for the first time to evaluate the relationship between intracellular viscosity changes and cancer cell migration and proved that increased intracellular viscosity inhibits cell migration while decreased intracellular viscosity promotes cell migration.

Abstract
Mas related G-protein-coupled receptor member X2 (MrgX2) has been identified as the crucial receptor in drug induced pseudo-allergic reactions and allergic diseases. In this research, the first type of fluorescent agonists (ZX1, ZX2 and ZX3) for MrgX2 were developed by conjugating environment-sensitive fluorophore coumarin to MrgX2 selective agonists (R)-ZINC-3573. Their environment-sensitive property was confirmed by the dramatically increase of fluorescent intensity after binding to the hydrophobic ligand binding domain MrgX2, which help to overcome the high background signal. Based on these characteristics, they can be used for selective visualization of MrgX2 in living cells even with their own background interference. Among these fluorescent agonists, compound ZX2 possessed splendid spectroscopic properties, outstanding pharmacological activities (EC50 = 0.93 μM, KD = 1.97 μM). And a competitive binding assay was established with ZX2 to analysis the binding affinity of MrgX2 agonists, which shown high coherence with the results of cell membrane chromatography. To our knowledge, these probes are the first fluorescent ligands of MrgX2 with agonistic activity and environment-sensitive property, which is expected to use for the development of MrgX2 molecular pharmacology and serve as a convenient high-throughput screening tool for the drug candidates targeting MrgX2.

Abstract
Cell apoptosis detection based on the functionality changes of cellular organelles, such as mitochondria, offers a quantitative method compared to morphology-based detection. However, the conventional detection methods for potential variation of the mitochondrial membrane based on fluorescence spectrum changes cannot offer a precise quantification of the degree of apoptosis. Here, a mitochondria-targeted two-photon viscosity probe (TPA-Mit), which sensitively responds to viscosity variations with fluorescence lifetime changes, is designed to detect the viscosity of mitochondria. Noteworthily, the proposed phasor fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (phasor-FLIM) allows for more precise quantification (in terms of smaller uncertainty) when estimating the degree of apoptosis with a microviscosity probe. The experimental results of SKOV-3 cells show that the fluorescence lifetime of mitochondria-targeted TPA-Mit increased from 550 ps to 800 ps after 24 hours of paclitaxel (PTX)-induced apoptosis. We believe that our method provides a new means for the measurement of cellular microviscosity and apoptosis monitoring at early stages. Here we designed a mitochondria-targeted two-photon viscosity probe (TPA-Mit), which sensitively responds to viscosity variations with fluorescence lifetime changes.![]()

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays vital roles in oxidative stress and signal transduction in living organisms, and its abnormal levels could be linked to many diseases. Despite numerous efforts spent, it is still urgent and of high importance to develop better H2O2 probes with good selectivity, high sensitivity and low backgrounds. To this end, a novel boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorescent probe with an electron-withdrawing methylenemalononitrile at the meso position has been rationally designed, successfully synthesized and investigated for detection of H2O2 in aqueous solutions and living cells, which exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity, fluorescent "turn-on" phenomenon at 540 nm, and ratiometric changes from 506 to 540 nm. Upon exposure to H2O2, a strong fluorescent emission at 540 nm appeared and the corresponding quantum yields changed from 0.009 to 0.13. The detection limit towards H2O2 was calculated to be 31 nM by the linear fluorescence change at 540 nm in the H2O2-concentration ranging from 2 to 10 μM. This probe was applicable in a pH range from 6 to 10. Meanwhile, the sensing mechanism was also confirmed by the 1H NMR and mass spectrometry, suggesting that the above changes might be ascribed to the quick addition and oxidization of the double bond. Furthermore, confocal imaging results also showed great enhancement of intracellular fluorescence upon exposure to H2O2 and PMA in RAW264.7 cells, unambiguously confirming its great potentials as a fluorescent probe for highly sensitive detection of both exogenous and endogenous H2O2 in living cells.

Abstract
The origin of the large difference of fluorescence yields between benzo[a] and benzo[b] BODIPY derivatives was investigated. The benzo[a]-BODIPY chromophore shows high fluorescence yields while the totally quenched fluorescence of benzo[b]-BODIPYs is observed. Quantum calculations indicated that larger spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and smaller singlet-triplet energy gaps result in non-fluorescence for benzo[b]-BODIPY. Benzo[b]-fusion makes a partial contribution to the HOMO but a full contribution to the HOMO-1, and thus the S1→ S0 and T2→ S0 transitions, involved in HOMO-LUMO and HOMO-1-LUMO, have different characteristics, which leads to spin flipping for intersystem crossing (ISC) and increases the SOC to 1.70 cm-1. However, benzo[a] contributes to HOMO and HOMO-1 equally, and minimizes the SOC between S1 and T2, leading to slow ISC from S1, thus possessing strong fluorescence. These results are useful for the rational design of heavy-atom-free triplet organic chromophores.

Abstract
meso-Carboxyl-BODIPY responds to small electronic changes resulting from acyl substitution reactions with a marked change in fluorescence. Herein, the minute changes that accompany the thioester to amide conversion encountered in native chemical ligation (NCL) are exploited in the construction of fluorescent "turn-on" probes. Two fluorogenic probes, 1 a and 4, derived from a meso-thioester-BODIPY scaffold, were designed for the selective detection of cysteine (1 a) and aminopeptidase N (4), respectively. The aromatic (1 a) and aliphatic (4) thioesters of meso-carboxyl-BODIPY are nonfluorescent. However, specific analyte-induced conversion to the meso-amide derivative caused significant spectral changes and a dramatic fluorescence enhancement. Probe 1 a exhibited a large fluorescence "turn-on" response with high selectivity toward cysteine via a tandem NCL reaction. Probe 4 was successfully applied to the monitoring and imaging of endogenous aminopeptidase N in live cancer cells.

Abstract
Meso-phosphino-substituted BODIPY probes were developed for concise and rapid detection of hypochlorite (ClO-). Interestingly, the probe BP gave a turn-on fluorescence response by shutting the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect and extending the coplanar conjugated π-system. In contrast, the probe TMBP showed a colorimetric response toward ClO-. The key role of the steric repulsions was revealed to be for altering the electronic distribution of the BODIPY core, resulting in these obviously different responses. Finally, the probe BP, with high selectivity and sensitivity toward ClO- (LOD = 1.9 nM; response time, <15 s), was further employed in imaging the variations of exogenous and endogenous hypochlorite (ClO-) in living RAW 264.7 cells and mouse inflammation models. If wisely utilized, this strategy with meso-phosphino BODIPY dyes may serve as a powerful platform for the preparation of novel chemosensors.

Abstract
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. In general, changes of the internal microenvironment will usually lead to cellular malfunction or the occurrence of relevant diseases. In the last few decades, the field of chemicobiology has received great attention. Also, remarkable progress has been made in developing viscosity-sensitive fluorescent probes. These probes were particularly efficient for imaging viscosity in biomembranes as well as lighting up specific organelles, such as mitochondria and lysosome. Besides, 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. In this review, we summarized the majority of viscosity-sensitive chemosensors that have been reported thus far.

Abstract
A series of fluorescent molecular rotors, acridinium benzoates (Acr-A,B,C,D), were designed for ratiometrically monitoring cellular viscosity. High sensitivity to viscosity was observed in probe Acr-A with an insignificant steric effect in the acridinium nitrogen. Acr-A was employed to distinguish cancer cells from normal cells and track the dynamics of viscosity during cellular apoptosis.

Abstract
Conjugated molecules with coplanar strong donor and acceptor (D-A) units have been widely used in the design of near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agents to increase an absorption band through intramolecular charge transfer and to control intramolecular motions in aggregated states. However, such conjugated D-A systems have strong dipolar moments and intermolecular interactions, which may inhibit other channels of photothermal conversion and are often susceptible to nucleophiles, especially in the presence of light irradiation. Now, we report a molecular guideline to develop novel NIR organic photothermal nanoagents based on conjugated boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) oligomers. This oligomerization is helpful not only for their tunable NIR absorptions in the ground state with distinctly redshifted absorption maxima up to 1002 nm and high extinction coefficients but also for their highly efficient photothermal conversion because of the possible motion of the BODIPY motifs around the ethene linked group in the excited state. These oligomers were fabricated as ultra-photostable nanoagents for multiple imaging-guided phototherapies, which efficiently accumulated in tumors, and gave complete tumor ablation with NIR laser irradiation. This strategy of "ground-state conjugation, excited-state rotation" provides a novel guideline to develop advanced theranostic molecules with NIR absorption.

Abstract
Intracellular viscosity is closely related to a series of biological processes and could be a biomarker for various diseases. Herein, we reported a deep-red emission viscosity probe ACI, which showed a turn-on fluorescence effect with excellent selectivity encountering high viscous medium. To assure the practical biological application, ACI demonstrated not only a long wavelength emission at 634 nm but also a long wavelength excitation at 566 nm, which were crucial to afford deeper penetration depth and higher sensitivity in bioimaging. The photophysical properties and viscosity recognition mechanism of the probe were carefully discussed here. Theoretical calculations furtherly confirmed that high viscous medium could inhibit the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) process of the probe which quenched the fluorescence in low viscous media, and restore the emission. More importantly, it was successfully applied to visualize the viscosity in living cells. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
We report a series of alkyne-functionalized meso-aryl boron dipyrrin (BODIPY) molecular rotors sensitive to viscosity. The planar and twisted conformation within the molecular structure decides the viscosity-dependent behavior. The variations in fluorescence lifetime and intensity were appreciable to the local viscosity. Hence, the dye has been successfully employed in the enumeration of microbes by considering the proportionate fluorescence intensity of the BODIPYs as an index of the number of cells per mL. With increasing cells per mL, the viscosity of the bacterial solution is increased. Consequently, the fluorescence intensity of the sample containing BODIPY tends to increase due to the restricted rotation in the viscous medium. The BODIPY probe offers high sensitivity and is easier than other conventional techniques of colony-forming unit (CFU) determination. The theoretical studies indicate that intramolecular charge transfer is responsible for the enhanced fluorescence intensity in a highly viscous solvent.

Abstract
Viscosity in the intracellular microenvironment shows a significant difference in various organelles and is closely related to cellular processes. Such microviscosity in live cells is often mapped and quantified with fluorescent molecular rotors. To enable the rational design of viscosity-sensitive molecular rotors, it is critical to understand their working mechanisms. Herein, we systematically synthesized and investigated two sets of BODIPY-based molecular rotors to study the relationship between intramolecular motions and viscosity sensitivity. Through experimental and computational studies, two conformations (i.e., the planar and butterfly conformations) are found to commonly exist in BODIPY rotors. We demonstrate that the transformation energy barrier from the planar conformation to the butterfly conformation is strongly affected by the molecular structures of BODIPY rotors and plays a critical role in viscosity sensitivity. These findings enable rational structure modifications of BODIPY molecular rotors for highly effective protein detection and recognition.

Abstract
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a zinc-bound metalloprotease which is highly expressed in metastatic prostate cancer. It has been considered an excellent target protein for prostate cancer imaging and targeted therapy because it is a membrane protein and its active site is located in the extracellular region. We successfully synthesized and evaluated a novel PSMA ligand conjugated with BODIPY650/665. Compound 1 showed strong PSMA-inhibitory activity and selective uptake into PSMA-expressing tumors. Compound 1 has the potential to be utilized as a near infrared (NIR) optical imaging probe targeting PSMA-expressing cancers.

Abstract
Abnormal changes of intracellular microviscosity are associated with a series of pathologies and diseases. Therefore, monitoring viscosity at cellular and subcellular levels is important for pathological research. Fluorescent molecular rotors (FMRs) have recently been developed to detect viscosity through a linear correlation between fluorescence intensity or lifetime and viscosity. Recently, 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (boron dipyrrins or BODIPY) derivatives have been widely used to build FMRs for viscosity probes due to their high rotational ability of the rotor and potentially high brightness. In this minireview, functionalized BODIPYs as FMRs for viscosity detection were collected, analyzed and summarized.

Abstract
A family of new asymmetric and symmetric 1,3,7,9-tetramethyl-4,4-bora difluoro-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) derivatives, bearing gem-dibromovinyl substituents, was synthesized by the Corey-Fuchs olefination method. One or two gem-dibromovinyl moieties were attached at either the p-position of 5-phenyl, or the β-position of the pyrrole ring, directly or, through phenyl spacers. The assigned structures were supported by MS, NMR (1H, 13C, 19F), X-ray diffraction analysis and for some compounds 2D HSQC and 11B NMR as well as optical spectroscopy. Their absorption and fluorescence properties and solvatochromism in different solvents were investigated. The highest absorption and emission maxima were obtained for compounds having two gem-dibromovinyl groups attached directly or through the phenyl spacer. The best correlation (R-coefficient) between the solvent and spectral properties of the BODIPYs were obtained using the refractive index of the solvent. Although these compounds are structurally quite similar, their solid states show remarkable differences in the crystal system, clearly revealing two distinct patterns of gem-dibromovinyl orientation and torsion angles of the 5-phenyl ring and the indacene plane. Hirshfeld surface analysis data were used to visualize various intermolecular interactions.

Abstract
The intracellular viscosity is closely related to many functional disorders and diseases. Especially, abnormal mitochondrial viscosity changes are one of the distinct indications in metabolite diffusion as well as mitochondrial metabolism. In this work, we report a novel fluorescent probe (NI-VIS), which uses quinoline as an acceptor group and employs a TICT mechanism (twisted intramolecular charge transfer) to detect viscosity. NI-VIS features a good mitochondrion targeting ability and near-infrared emission. NI-VIS possesses a highly sensitive response toward viscosity changes in aqueous environments. As the viscosity of a DPBS-glycerol system increased from 1.0 to 999 cP, NI-VIS exhibited a hundred-fold enhancement in fluorescence. We demonstrated that after the treatment with ionophores, NI-VIS could identify the variation of mitochondrial viscosity in HeLa cells. The probe also recognized the decrease of mitochondria viscosity during starvation-induced mitophagy. More importantly, NI-VIS was successfully applied to visualize the viscosity variation in cirrhotic liver tissues. Our trial with zebrafish suggested this probe could map the microviscosity in vivo. These findings reveal that NI-VIS can serve as a powerful tool to monitor viscosity of biological samples and shows broad potential applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Developing near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probes for detection of intracellular viscosity is still sufficiently challenging. In this work, three kinds of D-A-D type naphthyl and 2,1,3‑benzoxadiazol hybrid NIR dyes functionalized with amino (NY1), N‑methylamino (NY2) and N,N‑dimethylamino (NY3) groups for intracellular micro-viscosity detection were designed and synthesized. All the probes exhibited very weak NIR emission in low viscosity environment and obvious fluorescence enhancement with the increased viscosity. Different substituent groups had a high impact on the photophysical properties and response sensitive of the probes to viscosity. The structure-property relationships were systematic investigated. The results showed that stronger electron-donating ability and larger steric effect of N,N‑dimethylamino led to a narrower energy gap and more sensitive to viscosity environment. Therefore, NY3 exhibited higher signal noise ratio for viscosity detection and was successfully applied for imaging the changes of intracellular micro-viscosity. This work provides an efficient way to design powerful NIR fluorescence probes for viscosity detection.

Abstract
Protein covalent labeling is dramatically useful for studying protein function in living cells and organisms. In this field, the chemical tag technique combined with fluorogenic probes has emerged as a powerful tool. Herein, a series of TMP tag fluorogenic probes have been developed to span the green to full blue spectral range. These probes feature an acrylamide unit that acts as a linker group to conjugate the fluorophore and the ligand as well as a quencher and a covalent reaction group. After the probes bind to eDHFR:L28C, the acrylamide unit specifically reacts with the thiol group of the L28C residue beside the ligand binding pocket, achieving protein-specific labeling without any liberation of leaving groups. With these probes, multicolor and specific protein labeling with a fast reaction rate ( t1/2 = 33 s) and dramatic fluorescence enhancement (4000-fold) were obtained. Furthermore, no-wash protein labeling in both living cells and zebrafish was successfully achieved. We expect it may provide a general and highly effective chemical tool for the study of protein function in living cells and organisms.

Abstract
Precise quantitative measurement of viscosity at the subcellular level presents great challenges. Two-photon phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (TPPLIM) can reflect micro-environmental changes of a chromophore in a quantitative manner. Phosphorescent iridium complexes are potential TPPLIM probes due to their rich photophysical properties including environment-sensitive long-lifetime emission and high two-photon absorption (TPA) properties. In this work, a series of iridium(iii) complexes containing rotatable groups are developed as mitochondria-targeting anticancer agents and quantitative viscosity probes. Among them, Ir6 ([Ir(ppy-CHO)2(dppe)]PF6; ppy-CHO: 4-(2-pyridyl)benzaldehyde; dppe: cis-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene) shows satisfactory TPA properties and long lifetimes (up to 1 μs). The emission intensities and lifetimes of Ir6 are viscosity-dependent, which is mainly attributed to the configurational changes in the diphosphine ligand as proved by 1H NMR spectra. Ir6 displays potent cytotoxicity, and mechanism investigations show that it can accumulate in mitochondria and induce apoptotic cell death. Moreover, Ir6 can induce mitochondrial dysfunction and monitor the changes in mitochondrial viscosity simultaneously in a real-time and quantitative manner via TPPLIM. Upon Ir6 treatment, a time-dependent increase in viscosity and heterogeneity is observed along with the loss of membrane potential in mitochondria. In summary, our work shows that multifunctional phosphorescent metal complexes can induce and precisely detect microenvironmental changes simultaneously at the subcellular level using TPPLIM, which may deepen the understanding of the cell death mechanisms induced by these metallocompounds.

Abstract
The first example of the synthesis of mono-N,O-B-chelated dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives through an unexpected intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of the fluorine by alkenols in the presence of boron trifluoride as Lewis acid is reported. The chlorine in the indacene core allowed for further structural modifications through nucleophilic substitutions or palladium-catalysed coupling reactions to afford new fluorophores with tuneable photophysical properties. Their expanded conjugation structure resulted in distinct red-shifted absorption and emission spectra in organic solutions. Furthermore, the twisted steric hindrance of the benzene substitution patterns suppressed aggregation-induced quenching, leading to an enhanced NIR emission in the aggregate/solid state, which was rarely observed for BODIPY dyes. Nanoparticles of the fluorophores formed by the assembly with the polymeric surfactant F127 were successfully used for bioimaging of living cells and for tumour-targeted imaging in a tumour-bearing mouse model.

Abstract
We describe a series of easily accessible, visible-light-sensitive (λ > 500 nm) BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene)-based photoprotecting groups (PPGs) for primary and secondary amines, based on a carbamate linker. The caged compounds are stable under aqueous conditions for 24 h and can be efficiently uncaged in vitro with visible light (λ = 530 nm). These properties allow efficient photodeprotection of amines, rendering these novel PPGs potentially suitable for various applications, including the delivery of caged drugs and their remote activation.
