Abstract
5H-Benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-6-thione (BI-QT), was synthesized as a benzimidazole-based probe to detect H2S. BI-QT exhibits a fluorescent "turn-on" response in DMSO/H2O (9:1, HEPES 10 mM, pH 7.4) upon the addition of H2S. The BI-QT probe can determine micromolar (0-600 µM) H2S concentrations in aqueous systems, with a detection limit of 1.12 µM. Interestingly, BI-QT exhibited an ultrafast response to H2S, with maximum intensity achieved almost instantly when exposed to H2S. BI-QT is largely unaffected by pH and responds reliably over the wide 4-11 pH range, which highlights its applicability to various physiological scenarios. UV-vis, fluorescence, and 1H NMR spectroscopic analyses investigated the sensing mechanism. The practicality of the probe was demonstrated using water samples and living cells.

Abstract
We have developed a fluorescent probe DBT-Cl ((E)-2-(2-(4-(diphenylamino)benzylidene) hydrazinyl)-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxoethan-1-aminium chloride) for ClO- with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) strategy depending on solvent polarity. DBT-Cl possessed a prominent solvatochromic emission property with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from the TPA (triphenylamine) to the amide group, which was studied by spectroscopic analysis and DFT calculations. These unique AIE properties of DBT-Cl led to the recognition of ClO- with high fluorescent selectivity. DBT-Cl quickly detected ClO- in less than 1 sec with a fluorescent color change from green to cyan. DBT-Cl had a low detection limit of 9.67 μM to ClO-. Detection mechanism of DBT-Cl toward ClO- was illustrated to be oxidative cleavage of DBT-Cl by 1H NMR titrations, ESI-mass, and DFT calculations. We established the viability for dependable detection of ClO- in actual water samples, as well as zebrafish and plant imaging. In particular, DBT-Cl was capable of easily monitoring ClO- through a smartphone application. Therefore, DBT-Cl assured a promising approach for a fast-responsive and multi-applicable ClO- probe in environmental and living organism systems.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a common toxic gas that threatens the quality and safety of environmental water and food. Herein, a new near-infrared fluorescent probe DTCM was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction for sensing H2S. It exhibited a remarkable "turn-on" near-infrared (NIR) emission response at 665 nm with a remarkably massive Stokes shift of 175 nm, super-rapid detection ability (within 30 s), excellent photostability, high selectivity and sensitivity (limit of detection, LOD = 58 nM). Additionally, the probe was successfully utilized for the detection of H2S in environmental water samples. The DTCM-loaded test papers enabled convenient and real-time monitoring of H2S produced by food spoilage.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas plays a significant role in biological regulation. With advancements in technology, H2S has been discovered across diverse fields, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its physiological functions through monitoring changes in H2S within complex environments and physiological processes. In this study, we designed a phosphofluorene-based conjugate probe PPF-CDNB with an asymmetric π-conjugated phosphine structure and utilized dinitrophenyl ether as the recognition site for H2S. PPF-CDNB exhibited exceptional resistance to interference and demonstrated stability over a broad pH range (3.0-10.0), making it suitable for various environmental conditions. Intracellular experiments revealed that PPF-CDNB effectively monitored both endogenous and exogenous levels of H2S.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important endogenous gas transmitter that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes and can also cause a negative impact on foodstuffs. In this study, we designed and synthesized a simple, easily available, high-yield, and low-cost near-infrared (λem = 710 nm) fluorescent probe, DEM-H2S, with a substantial Stokes shift (205 nm) for the detection of H2S. DEM-H2S features high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 80 nM) toward H2S, accompanied by a noticeable color change. Upon interaction with H2S, DEM-H2S exhibits a restored ICT (Intramolecular Charge Transfer) process, thereby manifesting near-infrared fluorescence. DEM-H2S has been successfully utilized to detect H2S in actual water samples and to monitor the spoilage of food items, such as pork, shrimp, and eggs. Furthermore, DEM-H2S enables the imaging of endogenous and exogenous H2S in living MCF-7 cells and zebrafish. Hence, DEM-H2S provides an attractive method for the detection of H2S in environmental, food, and biological systems, holding potential value in physiological and pathological research.

Selective visual staining of polyurethane microplastics by novel colorimetric and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye: Application to environmental water and natural soil samples.

Abstract
Microplastics can cause environmental pollution and ecosystem destruction as well as human health problems. Among the types of microplastics, polyurethane (PU) is particularly resistant to heat and difficult to decompose, causing disposal problems, and is evaluated as one of the most hazardous polymers. We present a novel colorimetric and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence dye, (E)-N-(2-((4-(diphenylamino)benzylidene)amino)phenyl)- 7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazol-4-amine (DPNA), designed for selective visual PU microplastic staining. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties of DPNA are demonstrated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations along with solvatochromic shift. DPNA exhibits red color and red fluorescence emission, showing promising potential as a staining dye. To achieve selective PU microplastic staining, we establish an optimized experimental procedure with the staining dye DPNA by evaluating the staining efficiency under different staining solvent compositions and staining times. DPNA can distinguish PU by both red fluorescence signal and red coloration among different types of microplastics. In addition, DPNA well stain fresh PUs with diverse sizes and at various pH range of 5-9, and the aged PUs can also be dyed as effectively as the fresh PU. Most importantly, DPNA selectively stains PU among 11 types of microplastics and 5 types of natural particles in environmental water and soil with and without any pre-treatments. The adsorption mechanism of DPNA on PU microplastic is demonstrated through field emission scanning electron microscopes (FE-SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and non-covalent interaction (NCI)-reduced density gradient (RDG) analyses, and proposed that intermolecular hydrogen bonding has a significant effect.

Abstract
In order to better monitor the content of Fe3+ and H2S in the biological environment, two new fluorescent probes were designed and synthesized. With the addition of Fe3+, the strong fluorescence emission of two probes was significantly quenched due to the paramagnetic effect of Fe3+. With the further addition of S2-, the fluorescence intensity was quickly restored. Two probes showed high selectivity and strong sensitivity for the detection of Fe3+ and S2-, and the fluorescence intensity "ON-OFF-ON" was accompanied with the interaction process. At the same time, two probes displayed good anti-interference ability which was not interfered by the existence of other ions. In addition, two probes illustrated fast response time to Fe3+, S2- and small cytotoxicity to cells. Therefore, two probes can provide a potential ideal tool for detecting Fe3+ and H2S in organisms and the environment.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S is often classified as a "gasotransmitter," meaning that it is an endogenously produced membrane permeable gas that carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for H2S and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide an important cornerstone for investigating the multifaceted roles of these important small molecules in complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools is to develop "activity-based probes" that couple a specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction to a fluorescent output. This Review covers the different types of such probes and also highlights the chemical mechanisms by which each probe type is activated by specific RSS. Common examples include reduction of oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, and metal coordination. In addition, we also outline complementary activity-based probes for imaging reductant-labile and sulfane sulfur species, including persulfides and polysulfides. For probes highlighted in this Review, we focus on small molecule systems with demonstrated compatibility in cellular systems or related applications. Building from breadth of reported activity-based strategies and application, we also highlight key unmet challenges and future opportunities for advancing activity-based probes for H2S and related RSS.

Abstract
A dual-target fluorescent chemosensor BQC (((E)-N-benzhydryl-2-(quinolin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide) was synthesized for detecting In3+ and ClO-. BQC displayed green and blue fluorescence responses to In3+ and ClO- with low detection limits (0.83 µM for In3+ and 2.50 µM for ClO-), respectively. Importantly, BQC is the first fluorescent chemosensor capable of detecting In3+ and ClO-. The binding ratio between BQC and In3+ was determined to be a 2:1 through Job plot and ESI-MS analysis. BQC could be successfully utilized as a visible test kit to detect In3+. Meanwhile, BQC showed a selective turn-on response to ClO- even in the presence of anions or reactive oxygen species. The sensing mechanisms of BQC for In3+ and ClO- were demonstrated by 1 H NMR titration, ESI-MS and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Although peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays an essential role in cellular redox homeostasis, its excess ONOO- will affect the normal physiological function of cells. Therefore, real-time monitoring of changes in local ONOO- will contribute to further revealing the biological functions. Reliable and accurate detection of biogenic ONOO- will definitely benefit for disentangling its complex functions in living systems. In the past few years, more fluorescent probes have been developed to help understand and reveal cellular ONOO- changes. However, there has been no comprehensive and critical review of multifunctional fluorescent probes for cellular ONOO- and other analytes. To highlight the recent advances, this review first summarized the recent progress of multifunctional fluorescent probes since 2018, focusing on molecular structures, response mechanisms, optical properties, and biological imaging in the detection and imaging of cellular ONOO- and analytes. We classified and discussed in detail the limitations of existing multifunctional probes, and proposed new ideas to overcome these limitations. Finally, the challenges and future development trends of ONOO- fluorescence probes were discussed. We hoped this review will provide new research directions for developing of multifunctional fluorescent probes and contribute to the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Fluorescent and colourimetric probes for small analytes (cations, anions and neutral molecules) have drawn significant attention in recent years. These probes interact with analytes and induce spectral change due to the variations in the photo-physical properties of the fluorophore/chromophore used. Among several photo-physical mechanisms, ESIPT (excited state intramolecular proton transfer) based probes are more advantageous due to their photo-physical properties viz. solvent polarity effect, large spectral shift with multi-channel fluorescence, high quantum yield etc. In recent years, ESIPT-based probes have shown several promising applications, especially monitoring small analytes in biological samples, smartphone app-assisted heavy metal detection in environmental samples, inkless writing, anti-counterfeiting applications etc. Therefore, this review is dedicated to recently reported ESIPT-based probes for small analytes. We have highlighted the organic units responsible for the ESIPT mechanism, their photo-physical parameters, selectivity and sensitivity properties and recent advances in their applications.

Abstract
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) is one of the most essential emission processes in most circumstances because of its dual emission band in most cases and its high Stokes shifts. These distinguishing properties make ESIPT-based probes more suitable for a variety of applications, including analyte sensors, solid-state sensing mechanisms, optical technologies, and biomarkers for endogenous or exogenous compounds in various settings. As a result, researchers around the world are working on ESIPT emissions and developing different scaffolds for various applications or industry demands. This field of study is rapidly expanding and there is a need for an up-to-date review of synthesis methodologies and applications. This paper provides the highlights of ESIPT-based heterocyclic scaffolds, synthesis strategies, and application scenarios in the literature from 2017 to 2023.

Abstract
The mechanism of fluorescence detection of diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP) based on 2-substituted benzothiazole (BZ-DAM) was studied by a theoretical calculation method. It should not be ignored that both the BZ-DAM and the detection product BZ-CHO have two excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) channels. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) theory were used to study the photophysical mechanism of two compounds in two channels in (acetonitrile) ACN solvent, and the temperature dependence of the two channels was given. Channel 1 is more likely to exist at low temperatures and channel 2 is more likely to exist at high temperatures. By theoretical analysis of the constructed potential energy curve, the hydrogen bond energy and electron-hole analysis, we confirmed that both molecules undergo ESIPT and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) processes in channel 1 and ESIPT and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) coupling processes in channel 2. The formation of product BZ-CHO molecules led to a significant fluorescence blue-shift phenomenon and inhibited the ICT process, which confirmed that BZ-DAM could be used as a fluorescence probe for fluorescence detection. We sincerely hope that this work will not only help to clarify the excited-state dynamics behavior of the BZ-DAM probe but also provide a new idea for designing and optimizing a new chemical dosimeter.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 257:114954. [PMID: 37105100 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Excessive levels of hypochlorite (ClO-) negatively affect environmental and biological systems. Thus, it is essential to develop sensors that can identify ClO- in various systems such as the environment and living organisms. In this study, we report the development and evaluation of a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) strategy-based colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor 2,2'-(((1E,1'E)-[2,2'-bithiophene]- 5,5'-diylbis(methanylylidene))bis(hydrazin-1-yl-2-ylidene))bis(N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxoethan-1-aminium) chloride (BMH-2∙Cl) for detecting ClO-. BMH-2∙Cl enabled highly selective ClO- detection through a color change from yellow to colorless and a fluorescence color change from turquoise to blue in a perfect aqueous solution. BMH-2∙Cl exhibited low limits of detection (2.4 ×10-6 M for colorimetry and 2.9 ×10-7 M for ratiometric fluorescence) for detecting ClO- with a rapid response within 5 s. The detection mechanism for ClO- and an AIE property change of BMH-2∙Cl were demonstrated by 1H NMR titration, ESI-MS, variation of water fraction (fw) and theoretical calculations. In particular, we confirmed not only the practicality of BMH-2∙Cl by using test strips, but also demonstrated the potential for efficient ClO- detection in biological and environmental systems such as real water samples, living zebrafish and bean sprouts.

Abstract
In this work, through the orthogonal design of two fluorophores and two recognition groups, a series of fluorescent probes were developed from the flavone derivatives for hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The probe FlaN-DN stood out from the primarily screening on the selectivity and response intensities. It could respond to H2S with both the chromogenic and fluorescent signals. Among the recent reported probes for the H2S detection, FlaN-DN indicated the most highlighted advantages including the rapid response (within 200 s) and the high response multiplication (over 100 folds). FlaN-DN was sensitive to the pH condition, thus could be applied to distinguish the cancer micro-environment. Moreover, FlaN-DN suggested practical capabilities including a wide linear range (0-400 μM), a relatively high sensitivity (limit of detection 0.13 μM), and high selectivity towards H2S. As a low cytotoxic probe, FlaN-DN achieved the imaging in living HeLa cells. FlaN-DN could detect the endogenous generation H2S and visualize the dose-dependent responses to the exogenous H2S level. This work provided a typical case of natural-sourced derivatives as functional implements, which might inspire the future investigations.
