Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are small reactive molecules derived from elements in the air─oxygen and nitrogen. They are produced in biological systems to mediate fundamental aspects of cellular signaling but must be very tightly balanced to prevent indiscriminate damage to biological molecules. Small molecule probes can transmute the specific nature of each reactive oxygen and nitrogen species into an observable luminescent signal (or even an acoustic wave) to offer sensitive and selective imaging in living cells and whole animals. This review focuses specifically on small molecule probes for superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite that provide a luminescent or photoacoustic signal. Important background information on general photophysical phenomena, common probe designs, mechanisms, and imaging modalities will be provided, and then, probes for each analyte will be thoroughly evaluated. A discussion of the successes of the field will be presented, followed by recommendations for improvement and a future outlook of emerging trends. Our objectives are to provide an informative, useful, and thorough field guide to small molecule probes for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well as important context to compare the ecosystem of chemistries and molecular scaffolds that has manifested within the field.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen, O2, has long provided a cornerstone for studies in chemistry, physics, and biology. Although the triplet ground state, O2(X3Σg-), has garnered much attention, the lowest excited electronic state, O2(a1Δg), commonly called singlet oxygen, has attracted appreciable interest, principally because of its unique chemical reactivity in systems ranging from the Earth's atmosphere to biological cells. Because O2(a1Δg) can be produced and deactivated in processes that involve light, the photophysics of O2(a1Δg) are equally important. Moreover, pathways for O2(a1Δg) deactivation that regenerate O2(X3Σg-), which address fundamental principles unto themselves, kinetically compete with the chemical reactions of O2(a1Δg) and, thus, have practical significance. Due to technological advances (e.g., lasers, optical detectors, microscopes), data acquired in the past ∼20 years have increased our understanding of O2(a1Δg) photophysics appreciably and facilitated both spatial and temporal control over the behavior of O2(a1Δg). One goal of this Review is to summarize recent developments that have broad ramifications, focusing on systems in which oxygen forms a contact complex with an organic molecule M (e.g., a liquid solvent). An important concept is the role played by the M+•O2-• charge-transfer state in both the formation and deactivation of O2(a1Δg).

Abstract
As one of the members of reactive sulfur species, hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn, n > 1) plays an important role in enzyme activity and nervous system regulations, and the sensing mechanism study is of great significance for the design of novel efficient probes. Herein, we investigated the sensing mechanism of an efficient triphenylamine-benzofuran-based probe (TBF-SS) towards H2Sn using DFT method. The inherent fluorescence quenching of the probe is dominated by the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) as revealed by the torsional potential curve calculations. When the nitro fluorophenyl group is replaced by a hydroxyl group in the reaction with H2Sn, the TICT is eliminated and the excited state can return to the ground state in a radiative way, leading to strong fluorescence emission.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in organisms and are closely related to various physiological and pathological processes. Due to the short lifetime and easy transformation of ROS, the determination of ROS content in biosystem has always been a challenging task. Chemiluminescence (CL) analysis has been widely used in the detection of ROS due to its advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity and no background signal, among which nanomaterial-related CL probes are rapidly developing. In this review, the roles of nanomaterials in CL systems are summarized, mainly including their roles as catalysts, emitters, and carriers. The nanomaterial-based CL probes for biosensing and bioimaging of ROS developed in the past five years are reviewed. We expect that this review will provide guidance for the design and development of nanomaterial-based CL probes and facilitate the wider application of CL analysis in ROS sensing and imaging in biological systems.

Abstract
Energy transfer to ground state triplet molecular oxygen results in the generation of singlet molecular oxygen (1O2), which has potent oxidizing ability. Irradiation of light, notably ultraviolet A, to a photosensitizing molecule results in the generation of 1O2, which is thought to play a role in causing skin damage and aging. It should also be noted that 1O2 is a dominant tumoricidal component that is generated during the photodynamic therapy (PDT). While type II photodynamic action generates not only 1O2 but also other reactive species, endoperoxides release pure 1O2 upon mild exposure to heat and, hence, are considered to be beneficial compounds for research purposes. Concerning target molecules, 1O2 preferentially reacts with unsaturated fatty acids to produce lipid peroxidation. Enzymes that contain a reactive cysteine group at the catalytic center are vulnerable to 1O2 exposure. Guanine base in nucleic acids is also susceptible to oxidative modification, and cells carrying DNA with oxidized guanine units may experience mutations. Since 1O2 is produced in various physiological reactions in addition to photodynamic reactions, overcoming technical challenges related to its detection and methods used for its generation would allow its potential functions in biological systems to be better understood.

Abstract
In order to improve the performance of PDT, it is important to develop new photosensitizers that induce the formation of both hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen. In this work, we developed and validated the experimental conditions and reproducibility for the evaluation of relative efficiency of hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen production by studying the bleaching of p-nitrosoaniline (pNDA) using a continuous flow UV-visible spectroscopy method in presence of photosensitizers in PBS media. Rapid data sampling made possible to analyze the kinetics of the bleaching by using a mathematical modeling. The pNDA dosage is specific of hydroxyl radicals' production without l-histidine and of singlet oxygen production in presence of l-histidine. A statistical approach is used to precisely evaluate the reliability of the results and to be able to compare different photosensitizers between them such as Methylene Blue and Brillant Blue G.

Abstract
While there have been various techniques, assays, and commercial kits developed to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) with varying degrees of success, there is a lack of innovative methods to differentiate and quantify them simultaneously. In this work, we demonstrate a 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based method to differentiate two important types of ROS, superoxide radical anion and singlet oxygen, and to quantify them concurrently. By taking advantage of the unique chemical reactivity of two fluorine-containing molecules, 4-fluoro-3-methylphenyl boronic acid and 4-fluoro-3-methylphenol, serving as 19F NMR probes, we are able to differentiate and quantify, for the first time, superoxide radical anion and singlet oxygen generated by photosensitizers (PSs) concurrently. The results reveal that relative amounts of superoxide radical anion and singlet oxygen generated by a PS under light illumination are oftentimes sensitive to the environment, such as the presence or absence of electron donors. This method provides a means to identify the type of mechanism by which a PS functions under a given condition. We envision that this relatively simple, yet robust, method would be beneficial to a broad range of ROS-pertinent studies, such as photodynamic therapy and photoredox reactions.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a type of reactive oxygen species (ROS), playing a vital role in the physiological and pathophysiological processes. Specific probes for monitoring intracellular 1O2 still remain challenging. In this study, we develop a ratiometric fluorescent probe for the real-time intracellular detection of 1O2 using o-phenylenediamine-derived carbonized polymer dots (o-PD CPDs). The o-PD CPDs possessing dual-excitation-emission properties (blue and yellow fluorescence) were successfully synthesized in a two-phase system (water/acetonitrile) using an ionic liquid tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate as a supporting electrolyte through the electrolysis of o-PD. The o-PD CPDs can act as a photosensitizer to produce 1O2 upon white LED irradiation, in turn, the generated 1O2 selectively quenches the yellow emission of the o-PD CPDs. This quenching behavior is ascribed to the specific cycloaddition reaction between 1O2 and alkene groups in the polymer scaffolds on o-PD CPDs. The interior carbon core can be a reliable internal standard since its blue fluorescence intensity remains unchanged in the presence of 1O2. The ratiometric response of o-PD CPDs is selective toward 1O2 against other ROS species. The developed o-PD CPDs have been successfully applied to monitor the 1O2 level in the intracellular environment. Furthermore, in the inflammatory neutrophil cell model, o-PD CPDs can also detect the 1O2 and other ROS species such as hypochlorous acid after phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced inflammation. Through the dual-channel fluorescence imaging, the ratiometric response of o-PD CPDs shows great potential for detecting endogenous and stimulating 1O2in vivo.

Abstract
The work explored the fluorescent properties of probe N'-(2, 4-dihydroxy-benzylidene)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide (HL) and its sensing mechanism for the Al3+ ion in detail. HL has two competing deactivation processes: ESIPT and TICT. Upon light-excitation, only one proton can transfer, and the SPT1 structure is generated. The SPT1 form is highly emissive, which is inconsistent with the colorless emission observed in the experiment. Then a nonemissive TICT state was obtained by rotating the C-N single bond. The energy barrier of the TICT process is lower than that of the ESIPT process, which indicates that probe HL will decay to the TICT state and quench the fluorescence. When Al3+ is recognized by probe HL, strong coordinate bonds are formed between HL and Al3+, and then the TICT state is prohibited, and the fluorescence of HL is turned on. Al3+ as a coordinated ion can effectively remove the TICT state but cannot influence the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process of HL.

Abstract
Broad antiviral activity in vitro is known for many organic photosensitizers generating reactive oxygen species under irradiation with visible light. Low tissue penetration of visible light prevents further development of antiviral therapeutics based on these compounds. One possible solution to this problem is the development of photosensitizers with near-infrared absorption (NIR dyes). These compounds found diverse applications in the photodynamic therapy of tumors and bacterial infections, but they are scarcely mentioned as antivirals. In this account, we aimed to evaluate the therapeutic prospects of various NIR-absorbing and singlet oxygen-generating chromophores for the development of broad-spectrum photosensitizing antivirals.

Abstract
Compounds sensitive to reactive oxygen species are widely used in the study of processes in living cells and in the development of therapeutic agents for photodynamic therapy. In the present work, we have synthesized a dyad in which the BODIPY dye is chemically bound to 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA). Here, DPA acts as a specific sensor of singlet oxygen and BODIPY as a reference dye. We studied the photophysical properties of the BODIPY-DPA dyad and showed that energy transfer occurs between the chromophores. As a result, the compound has excitation maxima in the absorption region of both DPA and BODIPY, but the fluorescence emission occurs mainly from BODIPY. In the presence of singlet oxygen, the excitation maximum of DPA decreases, while the intensity of the excitation maximum of BODIPY remains almost unchanged. This allows the BODIPY-DPA dyad to be used as a ratiometric sensor of singlet oxygen.

Abstract
Characterizing the transient ultratrace light-independent intracellular singlet oxygen (1O2), which plays a vital role in multiple biological processes in living organisms, brings about tremendous help for understanding the nature of 1O2-mediated or related bioevents. Nevertheless, an approach to detect the light-independent intracellular 1O2 is hard to find. Herein, we developed a chemiluminescent nanosensor by compacting a great number of TPE-N(Ph)-DBT-PH molecules in one nanostructure via autoaggregation. Taking advantage of the aggregation-induced emission property, this TPE-N(Ph)-DBT-PH nanosensor is highly fluorescent and promises a bright red-light CL and the convenience of mapping in vivo sensor distribution. Experiments demonstrate the nanosensor's unprecedented selectivity toward 1O2 against other reactive oxygen species. The 3.7 nmol L-1 limit of detection renders this nanosensor with the best-known sensitivity of 1O2 chemical sensors. Meanwhile, fluorescence confocal microscope imaging results suggest that our nanosensor simultaneously targets mitochondria and lysosomes in RAW 264.7 cells via the energy-dependent endocytosis pathway, thereby implying an attractive potential for the detection of intracellular 1O2. Such a potential is demonstrated by detecting 1O2 in RAW 264.7 cells during a lipopolysaccharide and phorbol myristate acetate stimulated respiration burst. This study represents the first approach to detect light-independent intracellular 1O2 during cell bioregulation. Thus, our nanosensor provides an effective tool for investigating the 1O2-related bioprocesses and pathological processes.

Abstract
Air-stable organic radicals and radical ions have attracted great attention for their far-reaching application ranging from bioimaging to organic electronics. However, because of the highly reactive nature of organic radicals, the design and synthesis of air-stable organic radicals still remains a challenge. Herein, an air-stable organic radical from a controllable photoinduced domino reaction of a hexa-aryl substituted anthracene is described. The domino reaction involves a photoinduced [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, rearrangement, photolysis, and an elimination reaction; 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and EPR spectroscopy were exploited for characterization. Furthermore, a photoinduced domino reaction mechanism is proposed according to the experimental and theoretical studies. In addition, the effects of employing push and pull electronic groups on the controllable photoinduced domino reaction were investigated. This article not only offers a new blue emitter and novel air-stable organic radical compound for potential application in organic semiconductor applications, but also provides a perspective for understanding the fundamentals of the reaction mechanism on going from anthracene to semiquinone in such anthracene systems.

Abstract
Fluorophores that respond to external stimuli on demand have numerous applications in imaging and chemical or biological sensing. In this paper, we describe conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) that comprise a donor polymer matrix and a red-fluorescent, singlet oxygen-reactive heteroacene dopant (DE-TMT) that display a ratiometric response upon photo-oxidation. This ratiometric response can be tuned by the level of doping of DE-TMT, the identity of the conjugated polymer matrix used, and the blending of two conjugated polymers together to access red-shifted emission wavelengths. We followed a rational design process that combined (i) fundamental understanding of the influence of the chemical structure on luminescence spectra and efficiencies, energy transfer efficiencies, and reactivity and (ii) systematically determining how blending multiple chromophores in nanoparticles influences energy transfer efficiencies and the speed of optical responses to irradiation. Our approach of refining the compositions of these nanoparticles has yielded materials that combine many desirable characteristics for analytical applications-utility in aqueous environments, high quantum yield, emission of red light, and ratiometric luminescent responses. We anticipate that the type of approach described herein can be of use to others in designing CPNs for luminescence applications.

Abstract
The clinical applications of many photosensitizers (PSs) are limited because of their poor water solubility, weak tissue penetration, low chemical purity, and severe toxicity in the absence of light. We designed a novel chlorin-based PS (designated as HPS) to achieve fluorescence image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) with efficient ROS generation. In addition to its simple fabrication process, HPS has other advantages such as excellent water solubility, strong NIR absorption, and high biocompatibility upon chemical functionalization for enhanced phototherapy. HPS exhibited high photodynamic performance against lung cancer and breast cancer cells by generating a large amount of singlet oxygen (1O2) under 654 nm laser irradiation. HPS accumulated into multiple organelles such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum and triggered cell apoptosis by laser exposure. In the tumor-bearing mice, in vivo, HPS showed an optimal half-life in circulation and achieved fluorescence-image-guided PDT within the irradiation window, resulting in effective tumor growth inhibition and the prolonged survival of animals. Moreover, the antitumor PDT effect of HPS was close to the clinical trial phase II stage of HPPH even at the low dosage of 0.32 mg/kg (under 75 J/cm2 laser), while the systemic safety of HPS was much higher. In conclusion, HPS is a novel water-soluble chlorin derivative with excellent PDT potential for clinical transformation.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) plays a vital role in metabolism. However, because of its extremely high reactivity and short-lived state, the in vivo detection of 1O2 is challenging. To address this issue, for the first time, we herein constructed a near-infrared (NIR) chemiluminescent probe (CL-SO) by caging the precursor of phenoxy-dioxetane scaffolds and a dicyanomethylchromone acceptor for selective 1O2 detection. This probe can detect 1O2 in vitro with a tremendous turn-on chemiluminescence signal in the NIR region (700 nm) and image intracellular 1O2 produced by the photosensitizer during the simulated action of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Notably, 1O2 level changes in the abdominal cavity and tumor of the various mice model under different stimulations and PDT action were effectively monitored by CL-SO, providing a novel chemiluminescence imaging platform to explore 1O2 generation in PDT-associated applications.

Abstract
Although long acenes remain a key class of π-conjugated molecules for numerous applications, photoinduced oxidation upon exposure of the acene to light, often through sensitization of 1O2, is an important reaction requiring mitigation for most applications. In response to this ongoing challenge, this paper presents a series of four new diarylethynyl-substituted long acenes-three tetracenes and one anthradithiophene-in which the arylene pendants are either benzene, naphthalene, or anthracene. UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy reveals that the anthracene-substituted derivatives fluoresce poorly (Φ < 0.01). Although all four long acenes react with 1O2 at expected rates when an external photosensitizer is included and show the expected changes in fluorescence to accompany these reactions, the anthracene-substituted derivatives resist direct photoinduced oxidation. Through a combination of mechanistic experiments, we conclude that rapid nonradiative decay of the anthracene-substituted derivatives, perhaps because of inter-arene torsions that emerge in theoretical geometry optimizations, makes these compounds poor photosensitizers for 1O2 or other reactive oxygen species. This discovery opens new design possibilities for extended acene structures with improved photochemical stability.

Abstract
Fluorescein, and derivatives of fluorescein, are often used as fluorescent probes and sensors. In systems where pH is a variable, protonation/deprotonation of the molecule can influence the pertinent photophysics. Fluorination of the xanthene moiety can alter the molecule’s pKa such as to render a probe whose photophysics remains invariant over a wide pH range. Di-fluorination is often sufficient to accomplish this goal, as has been demonstrated with compounds such as Oregon Green in which the xanthene moiety is symmetrically difluorinated. In this work, we synthesized a non-symmetrical difluorinated analog of Oregon Green which we call Athens Green. We ascertained that the photophysics and photochemistry of Athens Green, including the oxygen-dependent photophysics that results in the sensitized production of singlet oxygen, O2(a1Δg), can differ appreciably from the photophysics of Oregon Green. Our data indicate that Athens Green will be a more benign fluorescent probe in systems that involve the production and removal of O2(a1Δg). These results expand the available options in the toolbox of fluorescein-based fluorophores.

Abstract
Simple and effective detection of thiophenols has attracted great attention. A fluorescent probe 1 with high selectivity and sensitivity is designed and synthesized based on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in experiment. However, we conclude that the ESIPT process fails to happen actually based on the calculation results. In the present work, the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods are employed to investigate the real sensing mechanism. The calculated absorption and emission spectra agree well with the experimental results. By comparing the energy of enol and keto configurations and the constructed potential energy surfaces (PESs) in the ground (S0) and excited (S1) states of 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-10-butyl-10H-phenothiazin-2-ol (dye 2), the ESIPT process is confirmed impossible because of the relatively high keto form energy and potential energy barrier. Besides, the transition state of dye 2 is optimized to offer the accurate potential energy barrier. The results of calculated frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and spectra indicate that it is the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process that results in the fluorescence quenching of probe 1. After adding thiophenols, the thiolysis of 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether bond is triggered and dye 2, which emits strong fluorescence because of the absence of PET process, is obtained. Consequently, our study has demonstrated that probe 1 can act as a fluorescent probe to detect thiophenols through the off-on fluorescence variation based on the PET mechanism but not the ESIPT process.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the cysteine hydropersulfide (Cys-SSH) as the sulfur donor is crucial to sulfur-containing cofactors synthesis. Recently, a selective and sensitive near-infrared ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor Cy-DiSe has been designed and synthesized to detect Cys-SSH spontaneously. Herein, by means of the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approaches, the sensing mechanism has been thoroughly explored. According to our calculations, the experimental data have been reproduced. The results indicate the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) is the reason for changes in fluorescence wavelengths. Compared with the chemosensor Cy-DiSe, the larger energy gap of Cy induced by ICT mechanism leads to the blue-shift of the absorption and emission spectra, which guarantees that Cy-DiSe can become a ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor to detect Cys-SSH.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are by-products of aerobic metabolism and can also act as signaling molecules to participate in multiple regulation of biological and physiological processes. The occurrence, growth and metastasis of tumors, and even the apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy of tumor cells are all closely related to ROS. However, ROS levels in the body are usually maintained at a stable status. ROS produced by oxidative stress can cause damage to cell lipids, protein and DNA. In recent years, ROS have achieved satisfactory results on the treatment of tumors. Therefore, this review summarizes some research results of tumor treatments from the perspective of ROS in recent years, and analyzes how to achieve the mechanism of inhibition and treatment of tumors by ROS or how to affect the tumor microenvironment by influencing ROS. At the same time, the detection methods of ROS, problems encountered in the research process and solutions are also summarized. The purpose of this review is to provide a clearer understanding of the ROS role in tumor treatment, so that researchers might have more inspiration and thoughts for cancer prevention and treatment in the next stage. This review provides a clear understanding of the ROS role in tumor treatment and some thoughts for potential cancer prevention.![]()

Abstract
Significance: Singlet oxygen is a key cytotoxic agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT). As such, its imaging is highly desirable, but existing direct imaging methods are still limited by the exceptionally low yield of the luminescence signal. Singlet oxygen feedback delayed fluorescence (SOFDF) of the photosensitizer is a higher yield alternative for indirect measurement of this signal. <p> Aim: The aim was to explore feasibility of SOFDF imaging in vivo in tumor-bearing mice during PDT and investigate how SOFDF images can be transformed into images of singlet oxygen. In addition, we study whether lysosome permeabilization can be visualized through fluorescence lifetime.</p> <p> Approach: Mice were intravenously injected with 2.5 mg/kg of photosensitizer aluminum(III) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (AlPcS4) 20 h prior to experiments, having subcutaneous BxPC3 pancreas tumors. Time-resolved delayed fluorescence and prompt fluorescence (PF) were imaged using an intensified time-gated camera with 10-Hz pulsed laser excitation at 690 nm. </p> <p> Results: Delayed emission from AlPcS4 was detected with lifetimes 7 to 11 μs, which was attributed to SOFDF and shown to be oxygen-dependent. Singlet oxygen images were approximated by the ratio of SOFDF/PF at each pixel. SOFDF images of a good quality could be captured within several seconds with a radiant exposure of ∼20 mJ / cm2. In addition, lifetime images of AlPcS4 PF in ns-time domain enabled us to visualize the event of lysosome permeabilization, as the lifetime increased from ∼4.7 to 5.2 ns. </p> <p> Conclusions: Imaging of SOFDF in vivo in mouse tumor during PDT with AlPcS4 is feasible, and it is a promising method for singlet molecular oxygen monitoring. Moreover, the time-gated approach also enables visualization of the lysosome permeabilization that alters the PF lifetime. </p>

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a field with many applications including chemotherapy. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) exhibit a variety of unique properties and can be used in PDT to generate singlet oxygen that destroys pathogenic bacteria and cancer cells. The PDT agent, methylene blue (MB), like GQDs, has been successfully exploited to destroy bacteria and cancer cells by increasing reactive oxygen species generation. Recently, combinations of GQDs and MB have been shown to destroy pathogenic bacteria via increased singlet oxygen generation. Here, we performed a spectrophotometric assay to detect and measure the uptake of GQDs, MB and several GQD-MB combinations in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Then, we used a cell counting method to evaluate the cytotoxicity of GQDs, MB and a 1:1 GQD:MB preparation. Singlet oxygen generation in cells was then detected and measured using singlet oxygen sensor green. The dye, H2 DCFDA, was used to measure reactive oxygen species production. We found that GQD and MB uptake into MCF-7 cells occurred, but that MB, followed by 1:1 GQD:MB, caused superior cytotoxicity and singlet oxygen and reactive oxygen species generation. Our results suggest that methylene blue's effect against MCF-7 cells is not potentiated by GQDs, either in light or dark conditions.

Abstract
Sensing nonradiation-induced singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) in whole-animal is deemed as one of the most challenging tasks in noninvasive techniques due to the µs level lifetime of 1 O2 and quenching by numerous reductants in tissues. Here a distinct chemiluminescent (CL) nanosensor (NTPE-PH) that boasts ultrahigh concentrated CL units in one nanoparticle is reported. Taking advantage of the intramolecular energy transfer mechanism that promises high energy transfer efficiency and the aggregation-induced emission behavior that guarantees high CL amplification, the NTPE-PH sensor is sensitive to a nm level 1 O2 . Experiments demonstrate that the NTPE-PH yields a highly selective CL response toward 1 O2 among common reactive oxygen species. With proved low cytotoxicity and good animal compatibility, real-time mapping of ultratrace 1 O2 in whole-animal during acute and chronic inflammations is first achieved. It is anticipated that the NTPE-PH sensor can be a useful tool for monitoring 1 O2 variation during immune response and pathological processes corresponding to different stimuli, even with drug treatment included.

Abstract
Growing evidence indicates intermediacy of singlet dioxygen (1O2) in a variety of pathophysiological processes. 1O2 has also found great utility of destructive actions for clinical and environmental applications. However, many details of the molecular mechanisms mediated by 1O2 remain insufficiently understood. Efforts to elucidate the 1O2 chemistry have been hampered by the lack of chemical tools capable of generation and detection of 1O2. In this review, I summarize the recent advances in the development of the chemical tools of 1O2. This article focuses on two topics. The first part introduces chemical methods for ground-state generation of 1O2. Designs of the molecular carriers of 1O2 are also explained. The second part discloses molecular probes of 1O2. The probes are categorized into three groups, depending on signaling modalities: absorption-based probes, photoluminescent probes, and chemiluminescent probes. Focus is on the molecular design to maximize the signaling actions. Disadvantages of using the probes are also discussed to motivate the future research. I hope that this review will serve as helpful guidance to the exploitation and development of the chemical tools of 1O2.

Abstract
Formation of singlet oxygen (1O2) was reported to accompany light stress in plants, contributing to cell signaling or oxidative damage. So far, Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG) has been the only commercialized fluorescent probe for 1O2 imaging though it suffers from several limitations (unequal penetration and photosensitization) that need to be carefully considered to avoid misinterpretation of the analysed data. Herein, we present results of a comprehensive study focused on the appropriateness of SOSG for 1O2 imaging in three model photosynthetic organisms, unicellular cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Penetration of SOSG differs in both unicellular organisms; while it is rather convenient for Chlamydomonas it is restricted by the presence of mucoid sheath of Synechocystis, which penetrability might be improved by mild heating. In Arabidopsis, SOSG penetration is limited due to tissue complexity which can be increased by pressure infiltration using a shut syringe. Photosensitization of SOSG and SOSG endoperoxide formed by its interaction with 1O2 might be prevented by illumination of samples by a red light. When measured under controlled conditions given above, SOSG might serve as specific probe for detection of intracellular 1O2 formation in photosynthetic organisms.

Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis and the photochemical behavior of a series of new "click-on" fluorescent probes designed to detect singlet oxygen. They include a highly fluorescent chemical structure, an aryloxazole ring, linked to a furan moiety operating as singlet oxygen trap. Their activity depends on both the structure of the aryloxazole fluorophore and the electron-donating and electron-accepting properties of the substituents attached to the C-5 of the furan ring. All probes are selectively oxidized by singlet oxygen to give a single fluorescent product in methanol and produce negligible amounts of singlet oxygen themselves by self-sensitization. The most promising dyad, (E)-2-(2-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)vinyl)naphtho[1,2-d]oxazole, FN-6, shows outstanding reactivity and sensitivity: it traps singlet oxygen with a rate constant (5,8 ± 0.1) x 1(07) M-1 s-1 and its fluorescence increases by a factor of 500 upon reaction. Analysis of the dyads reactivity in terms of linear free energy relationships using the modified Swain and Lupton parameter F and the Fukui condensed function for the electrophilic attack, suggests that cycloaddition of singlet oxygen to the furan ring is partially concerted and possibly involves an exciplex with a "more open" structure than could be expected for a concerted cycloaddition.

A fluorescent nanoprobe for real-time monitoring of intracellular singlet oxygen during photodynamic therapy. Mikrochim Acta 2018; 185:269.

Abstract
Sensing of intracellular singlet oxygen (1O2) is required in order to optimize photodynamic therapy (PDT). An optical nanoprobe is reported here for the optical determination of intracellular 1O2. The probe consists of a porous particle core doped with the commercial 1O2 probe 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) and a layer of poly-L-lysine. The nanoparticle probes have a particle size of ~80 nm in diameter, exhibit good biocompatibility, improved photostability and high sensitivity for 1O2 in both absorbance (peak at 420 nm) and fluorescence (with excitation/emission peaks at 405/458 nm). Nanoprobes doped with 20% of DPBF are best suited even though they suffer from concentration quenching of fluorescence. In comparison with the commercial fluorescent 1O2 probe SOSG, 20%-doped DPBF-NPs (aged) shows higher sensitivity for 1O2 generated at an early stage. The best nanoprobes were used to real-time monitor the PDT-triggered generation of 1O2 inside live cells, and the generation rate is found to depend on the supply of intracellular oxygen. Graphical abstract A fluorescent nanoprobe featured with refined selectivity and improved sensitivity towards 1O2 was prepared from the absorption-based probe DBPF and used to real-time monitoring of the generation of intracellular 1O2 produced during PDT.

Abstract
Developmental transitions and stress reactions in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes are tightly linked with fast and localized modifications in concentrations of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS). Fluorescent microscopic analyses are widely applied to detect localized production of ROS and RNS in vivo. In this mini-review we discuss the biological characteristics of studied material (cell wall, extracellular matrix, and tissue complexity) and its handling (concentration of probes, effect of pressure, and higher temperature) which influence results of histochemical staining with "classical" fluorochromes. Future perspectives of ROS and RNS imaging with newly designed probes are briefly outlined.
