Abstract
Fluorescent probe L-I was synthesized to demonstrate that 1,3,4-thiadiazole is an attractive moiety and could be utilized as positive hydrogen bond acceptor for excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes, guider of electrons movement for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process and identify group for mental ions. Furthermore, dicyanoisophorone framework was employed to improve the fluorescence characteristics and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent emission at 695 nm accompanied by a Stoke's shift as large as 260 nm was obtained. L-I could selectively detect Cu2+ over other analytes taking advantages of high sensitivity, fast response within 30 s and low detection limit (0.026 μM). More important, L-I exhibited good performance for detection of Cu2+ in actual water samples, food products, traditional Chinese medicine and for cell imaging which demonstrates practical significance in the fields of environmental monitor, food safety and biotechnology.

Abstract
Zinc(II) ions (Zn2g) play crucial roles in the growth, propagation, and metabolism of animals, plants, and humans. Abnormal concentrations of Zn2+ in the environment and living organisms pose potential risks to environmental protection and human health. Therefore, it is imperative to develop rapid, reliable and in-situ detection methods for Zn2+ in both environmental and biological contexts. Furthermore, effective analytical methods are required for diagnosing diseases and understanding physiological metabolic mechanisms associated with Zn2+ concentration levels. Organic small-molecule fluorescent probes offer advantages such as fast, reliable, convenient, non-destructive detection capabilities and have significant application potential in Zn2+ detection and bioimaging; thus garnering extensive attention. Over the past two years alone, various organic small-molecule probes for Zn2+ based on different detection mechanisms and fluorophores have been rapidly developed. However, these probes still exhibit several limitations that need further resolution. In light of this context, we provide a comprehensive summary of the detection mechanisms, performance characteristics, and application scope of Zn2+ fluorescence probes since year 2022 while highlighting their advantages. We also propose solutions to address existing issues with these probes and outline future directions for their advancement. This review aims to serve as a valuable reference source offering insights into the development of advanced organic small-molecule-based fluorescence probes specifically designed for detecting Zn2+.

Abstract
Fluorescent probe technology holds great promise in the fields of environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis due to its inherent advantages, including easy operation, reliable detection signals, fast analysis speed, and in situ imaging capabilities. In recent years, a wide range of fluorescent probes based on diverse fluorophores have been developed for the analysis and detection of various analytes, yielding significant achievement. Among these fluorophores, the dicyanoisophorone-based fluorophores have garnered significant attention. Dicyanoisoporone exhibits minimal fluorescence, yet possesses a robust electron-withdrawing capability, rendering it suitable for constructing of D-π-A structured fluorophores. Leveraging the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, such fluorophores exhibit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission with a large Stokes shift, thereby offering remarkable advantages in the design and development of NIR fluorescence probes. This review article primarily focus on small-molecule dicyanoisoporone-based probes from the past two years, elucidating their design strategies, detection performances, and applications. Additionally, we summarize current challenges while predicting future directions to provide valuable references for developing novel and advanced fluorescence probes based on dicyanoisoporone derivatives.

Abstract
Pseudopeptide-based bioinspired materials are emerging for selective recognition of biologically significant analytes and are applicable in the modern nanoscience field. Therefore, we have developed novel multifunctional C2-symmetric soft pseudopeptides by amino acid l-valine and salicylaldehyde fragments using a series of aliphatic linkers. They are highly selective and sensitive to Zn (II) ions under physiological conditions and reveal significant fluorescence enhancement with the PET mechanism. The molecular self-assembly shows zinc-induced morphological transformation of the rod-shaped assembly into a chain-like morphology. Such a metal-induced hierarchical nano-assembly may have relevance for specific nanobiotechnology applications.

Abstract
A new fluorescent sensor for the detection of CN- was developed based on the conjugation of phenothiazine fluorophore and benzofuran unit. By the nucleophilic attacking of CN- to the fluoroacetylamino group in the sensor, the additional reaction of CN- and carbonyl group induced the ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) effect in the molecule and caused the fluorescence quenching sensor. The titration experiments show that the sensor has good sensitivity, selectivity and quick response for CN-. In addition, the fluorescent detection of CN- in the living cell and zebrafish experiments demonstrated the value of the sensor in tracing the CN- in biological systems.

Abstract
Zinc ion, one of the most important transition metal ions in living organisms, plays a crucial role in the homeostasis of the organism. The disorder of zinc is associated with many major diseases. It is highly desirable to develop selective and sensitive methods for the real-time detection of zinc ions. In this work, double-emitting fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) are prepared by a solvothermal method using glutathione, L-aspartic acid, and formamide as the raw materials. The carbon dots specifically recognize zine ions and produce a decrease in fluorescence intensity at 684 nm and an increase at 649 nm, leading to a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for zinc detection. Through surface modification and spectral analysis, the surface groups including carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups, and C=N in heterocycles of CDs are revealed to synergistically coordinate Zn2+, inducing the structural changes in the emission site. The CDs can afford a low limit of detection of ~5 nM for Zn2+ detection with good linearity in the range of 0.02-5 μM, showing good selectivity as well. The results from real samples including fetal bovine serum, milk powder, and zinc gluconate oral solution indicated the good applicability of the CDs in the determination of Zn2+.

Abstract
A series of fluorometric sensors of Zn2+ have been synthesized due to the significant function of Zn2+ in the human body and environment. However, most of probes reported for detecting Zn2+ have high detection limit or low sensitivity. In this paper, an original Zn2+ sensor, namely 1o, was synthesized by diarylethene and 2-aminobenzamide. When Zn2+ was added, the fluorescence intensity of 1o increased by 11 times within 10 s, along with a fluorescence color change from dark to bright blue, and the detection limit (LOD) was calculated to be 0.329 μM. According to Job's plot curves, the binding mode of 1o and Zn2+ was measured as 1:1, which was further proved by 1H NMR spectra, HRMS and FT-IR spectra. The logic circuit was designed to take advantage of the fact that the fluorescence intensity of 1o can be controlled by Zn2+, EDTA, UV and Vis. In addition, Zn2+ in actual water samples were tested, in which the recovery rate of Zn2+ was between 96.5 % and 109 %. Furthermore, 1o was successfully made into a fluorescent test strip, which could be used to detect Zn2+ in the environment economically and conveniently.

Abstract
Herein, a Eugenol-derived fluorescence 'turn-on' probe FLHE was synthesized by condensing 2-((3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)benzohydrazide with 5-allyl-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde. FLHE demonstrated very low fluorescence in the studied organic solvents of varying polarities. However, upon titration with Zn2+ in HEPES buffer (pH = 7.4, 50% ACN, v/v), FLHE showed 40-fold higher fluorescence signals indicating the formation of the FLHE-Zn2+ complex. The fluorescence turn-on phenomenon upon FLHE-Zn2+ complex formation results from a chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect. The FLHE-Zn2+ complexation demonstrated a stokes shift of 156 nm (λex = 350 nm, λem = 506 nm) and an about 33-fold increase in the quantum yield (FLHE, Φ = 0.007; FLHE-Zn2+ complex, Φ = 0.23). The binding constant (Ka) determined by the Benesi-Hildebrand plot for interaction between FLHE and Zn2+ was 5.33 × 103 M-1. FLHE demonstrated a LOD of 31.8 nM for detecting Zn2+ in the environmental samples without interference from other cations and anions. FLHE-based paper strip (FLHE-PS) assay was developed to quantify the Zn2+ ions in water and the water content of organic solvent. FLHE-PS allows the detection of Zn2+ in aqueous solutions with a LOD of 63.2 nM and quantifying water in acetonitrile with a LOD of 0.14%. These results indicate that the FLHE has high applicability for detecting Zn2+ in living cells and environmental samples and detecting the presence of water in the organic solvents.

Abstract
While fluorescent sensors have been developed for monitoring metal ions in health and diseases, they are limited by the requirement of an excitation light source that can lead to photobleaching and a high autofluorescence background. To address these issues, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-based protein or small molecule sensors have been developed; however, most of them are not highly selective nor generalizable to different metal ions. Taking advantage of the high selectivity and generalizability of DNAzymes, we report herein DNAzyme-based ratiometric sensors for Zn2+ based on BRET. The 8-17 DNAzyme was labeled with luciferase and Cy3. The proximity between luciferase and Cy3 permiQed BRET when coelenterazine, the substrate for luciferase, was introduced. Adding samples containing Zn2+ resulted in a cleavage of the substrate strand, causing dehybridization of the DNAzyme construct, thus increasing the distance between Cy3 and luciferase and changing the BRET signals. Using these sensors, we detected Zn2+ in serum samples and achieved Zn2+ detection with a smartphone camera. Moreover, since the BRET pair is not the component that determines the selectivity of the sensors, this sensing platform has the potential to be adapted for the detection of other metal ions with other metal-dependent DNAzymes.

Abstract
We have designed and synthesized a novel fluorescent probe BMH for detection of hypochlorous acid (HClO), which can increase dramatically the fluorescence intensity and had ultrafast response, a low detection limit and a wide pH range of application. In this paper, we further studied its fluorescence quantum yield and photoluminescence mechanism theoretically. The calculated results indicated the first excited states of BMH and BM (it was the oxidized product by HClO) were bright states with large oscillator strengths, however, due to more larger reorganization energy of BMH, the predicted internal conversion rate kIC of BMH was four orders of magnitude larger than that of BM; moreover, owing to the effect of heavy atom from sulfur atom in BMH, the predicted intersystem crossing rate kisc of BMH was five orders of magnitude larger than that of BM; meanwhile there was no significant difference found between both the predicted radiative rates kr, thus the calculated fluorescence quantum yield of BMH was nearly zero and that of BM was more than 90%, the data showed the BMH had no fluorescence but its oxidated produce BM possessed strong fluorescence. In addition, the reaction mechanism of BMH transforming into BM has been investigated too, according to the potential energy profile, we found that the course of BMH converting into BM consisted of three elementary reactions. The research results revealed the solvent effect can decreased the activation energy, which was more favorable for these elementary reactions.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) and derivative ionic form (ClO-) are significant components of reactive oxygen species, and thus various diseases are correlatively related to the concentration of ClO-. Recently, paper-based indicators have been confirmed to be efficient strategy for sensing hazardous and noxious substances. However, most of these materials can only achieve qualitative detection of the substrates. Herein, an extremely simple manufacturing strategy was proposed to convert commonly-used paper into nano-engineered fluorescent biomass-based platform (CMJL-FP) integrated with on-demand self-assembled colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence sensor (CMJL) for rapid ClO- quantitative detection in organisms or water sources using smartphones. The CMJL exhibited a highly selective and sensitive ratiometric response to ClO- at a low detection limit (LOD = 92.6 nM). The associating interactions between the fluorescence nano-particles and micro-nano fibers of CMJL-FP ensure good-stability during ClO- detection. It has been experimentally demonstrated that CMJL-FP allows one to realize the rapid quantitative detection of ClO- ions in living cells and large-scale water sources by using color recognition software as part of a simple smartphone. Therefore, integrating the proposed fluorescent paper with smartphones provides an effective, sustainable, cheap and conceptual strategy for quantitative detection of hazardous and noxious substances in organisms and environments.

Abstract
Zinc ions (Zn2+) and cadmium ions (Cd2+) are widely present in our production and life, which are closely related to human health and environmental protection. Hence, it is essential to detect their concentrations. Herein, we developed a convenient and reliable small-molecule fluorescent probe based on Schiff base of dicyanisophorone and 2-hydrazinopyridine. This probe can be able to selectively detect Zn2+ and Cd2+, showing the advantages of near-infrared emission (the maximum emission wavelength: 668 nm), good selectivity, high sensitivity (the detection limits: 0.21 µM and 0.31 µM, respectively) and rapid response (15 s). It has excellent potential for rapid testing and visual tracking of Zn2+ and Cd2+ in aqueous solution and living cells.

Abstract
A multifunctional dehydroabietic acid-based fluorescent probe (CPS) was designed and synthesized by introducing the 2,6-bis(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenol fluorophore. The probe CPS could selectively recognize Cu2+, Zn2+ and ClO- ions from other analytes, and it showed fluorescence quenching behavior toward Cu2+ and a ratiometric response to Zn2+ and ClO- by changing from green fluorescence to blue and cyan, respectively. The detection limits toward Cu2+, Zn2+ and ClO- ions were 3.8 nM, 0.253 μM and 0.452 μM, respectively. In addition, CPS presented many fascinating merits, such as high selectivity, a short response time (15-20 s), a wide pH range (3-10) and high photostability. The sensing mechanisms of CPS were verified by 1H-NMR, ESI-MS, FT-IR and Job's plot methods. Meanwhile, CPS exhibited satisfactory detection performance in water samples. More importantly, the probe could be applied as a promising tool for visual bioimaging of three ions in living cells and zebrafishes.

Abstract
The sensing mechanism of the quinoline-derived Schiff base HL (concentrated from 8-hydroxyquinoline with 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde) as a highly selective fluorescent probe for Zn2+ was investigated by theoretical calculations with DFT and TDDFT. The conformations of the HL molecule, its ketone form and its Zinc complex structure, were optimized in the ground and excited states. The systems have been studied in depth in terms of structural parameters, frontier molecular orbitals, absorption and fluorescence spectra as well as potential energy curves analysis and approximately density gradient analysis. The present theoretical calculations propose a different detection mechanism from that proposed experimentally. The theoretical results predict that the fluorescence quenching in HL is attributed to the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) rather than the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) of benzene to electrons. When Zn2+ is introduced, Zn2+ takes the place of the H atom, creating a complex that blocks the ESIPT reaction and restores fluorescence.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is a vital organelle in biological systems and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) is produced during stress in the Golgi apparatus. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a significant reactive oxygen species and has strong oxidative and antibacterial activity, but excessive secretion of hypochlorous acid can affect Golgi structure or function abnormally, it will lead to a series of diseases including Alzheimer's disease, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, and Parkinson's disease. In present work, a novel fluorescent probe for Golgi localization utilizing naphthalimide derivatives was constructed to detect hypochlorous acid. The fluorescent probe used a derivatived 1,8-naphthalimide as the emitting fluorescence group, phenylsulfonamide as the localization group and dimethylthiocarbamate as the sensing unit. When HOCl was absent, the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process of the developed probe was hindered and the probe exhibited a weak fluorescence. When HOCl was present, the ICT process occurred and the probe showed strong green fluorescence. When the HOCl concentration was altered from 5.0 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1, the fluorescence intensity of the probe well linearly correlated with the HOCl concentration. The detection limit of 5.7 × 10-8 mol·L-1 was obtained for HOCl. The HOCl fluorescent probe possessed a rapid reaction time, a high selectivity and a broad working pH scope. In addition, the probe possessed good biocompatibility and had been magnificently employed to image Golgi HOCl in Hela cells. These characteristics of the probe demonstrated its ability to be used for sensing endogenous and exogenous hypochlorous acids within the Golgi apparatus of living cells.

Abstract
As one of the important metal ions, zinc ions (Zn2+) are widely involved in various physiological and pathological processes, and play fundamental roles in neurotransmission, cell metabolism and apoptosis. However, the convenient monitor of Zn2+ in environmental and biological samples remains challenging. In this study, a small molecule dicyanoisophorone-based schiff base incorporating with o-phenylenediamine was synthesized. It can rapidly combine with Zn2+ to emit significant near-infrared fluorescence (maximum emission wavelength: 660 nm), so it can be used as a probe to quantitatively detect Zn2+ in the range of 0-10 μM, with a detection limit as low as 4.8 nM, showing the probe has high sensitivity for Zn2+. And the probe has a fast response time to Zn2+ (less than 30 s) and a large Stoke-shift (179 nm). In addition, the high recovery rates in practical water samples, and the clear fluorescent images in living A549 cells were obtained, which are of great significance for the detection of Zn2+ in the environment and biosystem. Due to its simple operation, good selectivity and anti-interference ability, short detection time and high sensitivity, this probe has great application potential as a fast detection tool for Zn2+ in environmental water and biological samples.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions in the environment have important effects on human health and environmental safety. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize convenient and reliable detection of these two metal ions. In this study, two near-infrared fluorescent probes for the fast detection of Zn2+ and Pb2+ were synthesized by a simple Schiff base reaction between the dicyanoisophorone skeleton and carbohydrazide derivatives. Among them, the probe with the thiophene-2-carbohydrazide group showed a selective fluorescence response to Zn2+ and Pb2+ with a maximum emission wavelength of 670 nm. And the detection limits of the probe for Zn2+ and Pb2+ were 1.59 nM and 1.65 nM, respectively. In contrast the probe modified by the furan-2-carbohydrazide group achieved quantitative detection of Zn2+, with a detection limit of 2.7 nM. These results were attributed to the fact that the probes bind to Zn2+ and Pb2+ in stoichiometric ratios of 1:1, blocking the intramolecular PET effect. Furthermore, these two probes can be recycled through the action of EDTA and have been successfully used to detect Zn2+ and Pb2+ in real water samples.
