Abstract
To monitor the biological function of H2S in real time, this investigation demonstrated the design and synthesis of a novel fluorescent probe integrated with cyanine and 2,4-dinitrophenol for the qualitative and quantitative detection of H2S. An NIR sensitive sensor (FS-HS-1) was provided with a straightforward process. Spectroscopy experiments elucidated that FS-HS-1 could selectively detect H2S in a PBS solution (containing 40% acetonitrile) with a 111-fold fluorescence enhancement at 715 nm (ex. 605 nm). The response towards NaHS occurred in less than 2 min, and the detection limit was confirmed to be as low as 4.47 ± 0.11 nmol/L. Furthermore, the probe is capable of monitoring changes in exogenous H2S concentrations within living cells with confocal and 2P imaging.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and hydrazine (N2H4) are toxic compounds in environmental and living systems, and hydrogen sulfide is also an important signaling molecule. However, in the absence of dual-color probes capable of detecting both H2S and N2H4, the ability to monitor the crosstalk of these substances is restricted. Herein, we developed an ESIPT-based dual-response fluorescent probe (BDM-DNP) for H2S and N2H4 detection via dually responsive sites. The BDM-DNP possessed absorbing strength in the detection of H2S and N2H4, with a large Stokes shift (156 nm for H2S and 108 nm for N2H4), high selectivity and sensitivity, and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, BDM-DNP can be utilized for the detection of hydrogen sulfide and hydrazine in actual soil, and gaseous H2S and N2H4 in environmental systems. Notably, BDM-DNP can detect H2S and N2H4 in living cells for disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

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
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is closely linked to not only environmental hazards, but also it affects human health due to its toxic nature and the exposure risks associated with several occupational settings. Therefore, detection of this pollutant in water sources has garnered immense importance in the analytical research arena. Several research groups have devoted great efforts to explore the selective as well as sensitive methods to detect H2S concentrations in water. Recent studies describe different strategies for sensing this ubiquitous gas in real-life water samples. Though many of the designed and developed H2S detection approaches based on the use of organic small molecules facilitate qualitative/quantitative detection of the toxic contaminant in water, optical detection has been acknowledged as one of the best, attributed to the simple, highly sensitive, selective, and good repeatability features of the technique. Therefore, this review is an attempt to offer a general perspective of easy-to-use and fast response optical detection techniques for H2S, fluorimetry and colorimetry, over a wide variety of other instrumental platforms. The review affords a concise summary of the various design strategies adopted by various researchers in constructing small organic molecules as H2S sensors and offers insight into their mechanistic pathways. Moreover, it collates the salient aspects of optical detection techniques and highlights the future scope for prospective exploration in this field based on the limitations of the existing H2S probes.

Abstract
Herein we developed a cascade detection mode for the detection of HS- and ClO- by the novel probe NM-Cl bearing a conjugating naphthalene-dicyanoisophorone unit. The probe displayed sensitive and remarkable fluorescent enhancement in response to HS-, but not to other analytes. The mixture of probe and HS- constructed a specific sensing system for ClO- by fluorescent quenching response. The mechanism studies indicated that the successive reacting of HS- substitution Cl atom in probe and then addition of ClO- facilitation a thiofuran ring-forming induced differentiated fluorescence emission. This study provides a novel mechanism for the detection of HS- and ClO-, the imaging of cell and living animal further indicating the good application prospects of the probe in biosensing and bioimaging.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a multifunctional gaseous signaling molecule that plays a vital role in several biological processes. In the present study, a BODIPY-based fluorescent probe called 8-[4-((1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane)methyl)phenyl]-4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene (BA-Cyclen)-Cu was designed and synthesized; this probe is a Cu(Ⅱ) complex that uses Cu(Ⅱ) decomplexation to achieve the sensitive and rapid detection of aqueous H2S via the "turn-on" mode. We observed that BA-Cyclen-Cu exhibited good membrane permeability, low toxicity, and lysosome-targeting ability, facilitating H2S detection in living cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated the potential biological applications of the probe by measuring exogenous H2S originating from Na2S and GYY4137, a slow-release donor, and endogenous H2S generated via the catalysis of cystathionine-β-synthase in both normal (H9c2) and cancerous (U87) cells. Moreover, BA-Cyclen-Cu was successfully used to detect exogenous H2S by the external standard method in fetal bovine serum, the serum of a healthy person, and the serum of a patient with liver cancer.

Abstract
A novel flavonol-based fluorescent probe, Fla-DNT, has been synthesized for the rapid and specific detection of H2S. Fla-DNT exhibits excellent selectivity and anti-interference properties, a short response time (4 min), large Stokes shift (138 nm), and low detection limit (1.357 µM). Upon exposure to H2S, Fla-DNT displays a remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity at 542 nm. Meanwhile, the recognizing site of H2S was predicted through Electrostatic potential and ADCH charges calculations, while the sensing mechanism of H2S was determined via HRMS analysis and DFT calculation. More importantly, the probe owes multiple applications, such as a recovery rate ranging from 92.00 to 102.10% for detecting H2S in water samples, and it can be fabricated into fluorescent strips to track H2S production during food spoilage by tracking color changes, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of food freshness. The bioimaging experiments demonstrate the capability of Fla-DNT to detect both endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells. These results provide a reliable method and idea for H2S detection in complex environments.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in regulating varieties of important physiological and pathological processes. Thus the development of fluorescent probe for the detection of H2S is of great significance and has attracted much attention recently. Herein, we reported a novel near-infrared (NIR) emitting fluorescent probe WFP-PC, which contained a positive charged hemicyanine-based WFP-OH as fluorophore and thiobenzoate unit as a specific reaction site. After treated with H2S, the probe exhibited significant fluorescence enhancement and response time within 4 min and detection limit as low as 0.47 μM, accompanied by color changes from purple to blue. The probe was successfully applied to imaging the exogenous/endogenous H2S in cells and mice, suggesting it could be a promising molecular tool for H2S detection in living systems.

Abstract
The development of reliable probes for in vivo detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) with high sensitivity and selectivity is of great significance due to its key roles in many pathological and physiological processes. Herein, it was found that H2S could finely regulate surface structure of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) through reduction of surface Au(I)-ligand motifs and further quench their fluorescence by a two-stage kinetic reaction process. Stage I showed the H2S-assisted surface Au(I)-ligand reduction and Au(0) core growth with a rapid fluorescence decrease; stage II showed the surface structure optimization and reconstruction with a relatively slow fluorescence quenching. By virtue of the excellent fluorescence response of AuNCs to H2S, a novel ratiometric fluorescence probe (RBDA) for sensing H2S was designed through electrostatic attraction-induced fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between AuNCs and rhodamine B. The probe was facilely prepared, showing a straightforward, rapid ratiometric fluorescence response to H2S with built-in self-calibration. It presented the high detection sensitivity with a detection limit (LOD) of 56 nM and an excellent sensing selectivity for H2S over various other biological species. The probe was demonstrated to possess high biostability, low cytotoxicity, good cell and issue penetrability, and favorable biocompatibility. It realizes successful monitoring of both exogenous and endogenous H2S levels in living cells and zebrafish.
