Kaur A, Chaudhary RP. Review on Synthesis of 2-(2-Hydroxyaryl) Benzothiazoles (HBT) for Excited-State Intra-molecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT)-Based Detection of Ions and Biomolecules. Top Curr Chem (Cham) 2024; 382:26. [PMID: 39023635 DOI: 10.1007/s41061-024-00472-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
In this review, we present a systematic and comprehensive summary of the recent developments in the synthetic strategies of 2-(2-hydroxyarylsubstituted)-benzothiazole (HBT) framework along with incorporation of various substituents on phenolic and benzothiazole rings which affect the emission process. The literature, spanning the years 2015-2024, on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT)-based studies of HBT derivatives comprising the effects of solvent polarity, substituents, and extended conjugation on fluorophores has been searched. ESIPT, intramolecular charge transfer, and aggregation-induced emissions enable these fluorescent probes to specifically interact with analytes, thereby altering their luminescence characteristics to achieve analyte detection. These fluorescent probes exhibit large Stokes shifts, high quantum yields, and excellent color transitions. Finally, the applications of HBTs as ESIPT-based fluorescent probes for the detection of cations, anions, and biomolecules have been summarized. We anticipate that this review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in this field and encourage researchers to develop novel ESIPT-based fluorophores with new applications.

Abstract
This study investigated emissive urea compounds with an anthryl moiety on one side and a substituent group (biphenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, or cyclohexyl) on the other side across from the urea group. This was performed to determine the contribution of π-conjugation on a substituent group to excited-state intermolecular proton-transfer (ESPT) reactions in the presence of acetate anions. Fluorescence lifetime measurements revealed that the rate constant of the ESPT reaction from the normal form to the tautomer form increased with the length of the π-conjugation. Considering that there were a few differences among the wavelengths of the fluorescence maxima for the anthracene-urea derivatives in the presence of acetate anions, we observed that the extension of π-conjugation promoted tautomer formation. This maintained the energy levels of the normal and tautomer forms in the excited state. Furthermore, an anthracene-urea derivative without π-conjugation did not undergo a reverse ESPT reaction, implying that π-conjugation is considerably involved in the reverse ESPT reaction from the tautomer form to the normal form.

Abstract
Copper is an essential trace element in the human body, and its level is directly related to many diseases. While the source of copper in human body is mainly intake from food, then the detection of copper ions (Cu2+) in food becomes crucial. Here, we synthesized a novel probe (E)-3-hydroxy-2-styryl-4H-benzo[h]chromen-4-one (NSHF) and explored the binding ability of NSHF for Cu2+ using nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (1H NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), Job's plot method and density functional theory (DFT). NSHF shows the advantages of fast response time, good selectivity and high sensitivity for Cu2+. The fluorescence intensity ratio (F/F0) of NSHF shows a good linear relationship with the concentration of Cu2+ and the detection limit is 0.061 μM. NSHF was successfully applied to the detection of Cu2+ in real samples. In addition, a simple and convenient Cu2+ detection platform was constructed by combining NSHF with a smartphone and a UV lamp, which can realize the rapid detection of Cu2+. This work provides an effective tool for the real-time detection of Cu2+.

Dual channel chemosensor for successive detection of environmentally toxic Pd 2+ and CN - ions and its application to cancer cell imaging. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1305:342582. [PMID: 38677838 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Detecting and neutralizing Pd2+ ions are a significant challenge due to their cytotoxicity, even at low concentrations. To address this issue, various chemosensors have been designed for advanced detection systems, offering simplicity and the potential to differentiate signals from different analytes. Nonetheless, these chemosensors often suffer from limited emission response and complex synthesis procedures. As a result, the tracking and quantification of residual palladium in biological systems and environments remain challenging tasks, with only a few chemosensing probes available for commercial use. RESULTS In this paper, a straightforward approach for the selective detection of Pd2+ ions is proposed, which involves the design, synthesis, and utilization of a propargylated naphthalene-derived probe (E)-N'-((2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)naphthalen-1-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide (NHP). The NHP probe exhibits sensitive dual-channel colorimetry and fluorescence Pd2+ detection over other tested metal ions. The detection process is performed through a catalytic depropargylation reaction, followed by an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process, the detection limit is as low as 11.58 × 10-7 M under mild conditions. Interestingly, the resultant chemodosimeter adduct (E)-N'-((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide (NHH) was employed for the consecutive detection of CN- ions, exhibiting an impressive detection limit of 31.79 × 10-8 M. Validation of both detection processes was achieved through 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and density functional theory calculations. For real-time applications of the NHP and NHH probes, smartphone-assisted detection, and intracellular detection of Pd2+ and CN- ions within HeLa cells were studied. SIGNIFICANCE This research presents a novel naphthalene derivative for visually detecting environmentally toxic Pd2+ and CN- ions. The synthesized probe selectively binds to Pd2+, forming a chemodosimeter. It successfully detects CN- ions through colorimetry and fluorimetry, offering a low detection limit and quick response. Notably, it's the first naphthalene-based small molecule to serve as a dual probe for toxic analytes - palladium and cyanide. Moreover, it effectively detects Pd2+ and CN- intracellularly in cancer cells.

Abstract
Group 10 metals including Ni, Pd and Pt have been extensively applied in various essential aspects of human social life, material science, industrial manufactures, medicines and biology. The ionic forms of these metals are involved in several biologically important processes due to their strong binding capability towards different biomolecules. However, the mishandling or overuse of such metals has been linked to serious contamination of our ecological system, more specifically in soil and water bodies with acute consequences. Therefore, the detection of group 10 metal ions in biological as well as environmental samples is of huge significance from the human health point of view. Related to this, considerable efforts are underway to develop adequately efficient and facile methods to achieve their selective detection. Optical sensing of metal ions has gained increasing attention of researchers, particularly in the environmental and biological settings. Innovatively designed optical probes (fluorescent or colorimetric) are usually comprised of three basic components: an explicitly tailored receptor unit, a signalling unit and a clearly defined reporter unit. This review deals with the recent progress in the design and fabrication of fluorescent or colorimetric organic sensors for the detection of group 10 metal ions (Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II)), with attention to the general aspects for design of such sensors.

Abstract
Based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods with integral equation formula polarized continuum model (IEFPCM), the fluorescent behavior and recognizing mechanism of probe N'-((1-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methylene)isoquinoline-3-carbohydrazide (NHMI) for Al3+/Mg2+ ion were investigated in more detail. Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process in probe NHMI occurs in the stepwise pattern. The proton H5 of enol structure (E1) firstly moves from O4 to N6 to form single proton-transfer (SPT2) structure, and then the proton H2 of SPT2 transfers from N1 to N3 to form the stable double proton-transfer (DPT) structure. Subsequently, the transformation from DPT to its isomer (DPT1) induces the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) process. Two non-emissive TICT states (TICT1 and TICT2) were obtained, and TICT2 state quenches the fluorescence observed in the experiment. With the addition of aluminum (Al3+) or magnesium (Mg2+) ion, TICT process is prohibited by the coordination interaction between NHMI and Al3+/Mg2+, and the strong fluorescent signal is turned on. For probe NHMI, the twisted C-N single bond of acylhydrazone part leads to the TICT state. This sensing mechanism may inspire researchers to develop new probes from a different direction.

Abstract
In recent years, hydrazine hydrate has been widely used in various fields as fuel and chemical raw materials, etc. However, hydrazine hydrate is also a potential threat to living body and natural environment. The effective method is urgently needed to detect hydrazine hydrate in our living environment. Secondly, as a precious metal, palladium has attracted more and more attention because of its excellent properties in industrial manufacturing and chemical catalysis. However, its potential danger is also slowly approaching, so it is necessary to find an excellent way to detect palladium, too. Herein, a fluorescent molecule, 4,4',4'',4'''-(1,4-phenylenebis(2H-1,2,3-triazole-2,4,5-triyl)) tetrabenzoic acid (NAT), was synthesized. Firstly, NAT has very high selectivity and sensitivity for determination of Pd2+, because Pd2+ can coordinate well with carboxyl oxygen of NAT. The detection performance of Pd2+ is that the linear range is from 0.06 to 4.50 μM and the detection limit is 16.4 nM. Furthermore, the chelate (NAT-Pd2+) can continue to be used for quantitative determination of hydrazine hydrate with a linear range of 0.05-6.00 μM and the detection limit is 19.1 nM. The interaction time of NAT-Pd2+ and hydrazine hydrate is about 10 min. Of course, it also has good selectivity and strong anti-interference ability for many common metal ions, anions and amine like compounds. At last, the ability of NAT to quantitatively detect Pd2+ and hydrazine hydrate in actual samples has also been verified and the results are very satisfactory.

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
The level of selenocysteine (Sec) in the human body is closely related to a variety of pathophysiological states, so it is important to study its fluorescence sensing mechanism for designing efficient fluorescent probes. Herein, we used time-dependent density functional theory to investigate the fluorescence sensing mechanism of phenanthroimidazole derivates A4 and B4 for the detection of Sec, which are proposed to be designed based on excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanisms. The calculation results show that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of A4 and B4 is due to the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process with the sulfonate group acts as the electron acceptor. Subsequently, A4 and B4 react with Sec, the sulfonate group is substituted by hydroxyl groups, PET is turned off, and significant fluorescence enhancement of the formed A3 and B3 is observed. The theoretical results suggest that the fluorescence enhancement mechanism of B3 is not based on ICT mechanism, and the charge transfer phenomenon was not observed by calculating the frontier molecular orbitals, and proved to be a local excitation mode. The reason for the fluorescence enhancement of A3 based on ESIPT is also explained by the calculated potential energy curves.

Abstract
Recently, two trace water detection probes, 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone(HQCT) and 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (pyridine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazine(HQPH) have been successfully designed in the experiment. The original intramolecular proton transfer can be prevented by the water molecules, leading to fluorescence quenching. In order to investigate the fluorescence quenching mechanism, the effect of water molecules on the excited state proton transfer process will be studied in detail. In this contribution, the six models have been optimized and the related analysis have been carried out. When water molecules are involved in the proton transfer process, the energy barrier decreases significantly and the conversion of the enol structure to the keto structure is accelerated. Moreover, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, not participating in the proton transfer process, can facilitate the proton transfer process by affecting the distribution of the electrostatic potential within the molecule, which in turn lowers the energy barrier for proton transfer.

Abstract
A fluorescence "turn-on" probe for Cu (Ⅱ) ions was prepared based on the condensation reaction of coumaraldehyde and 1-hydroxy-2-acetylnaphthalene. A strong fluorescent flavonoid intermediate was formed and verified by the NMR and ESI-MS experiments. The water-soluble and pH dependence experiments were performed to confirm the optimal solvent condition (CH3CN: HEPES = 1:1, v/v, pH = 7.2-7.4). The dynamic experiments indicated that the formation process of the intermediate catalyzed by Cu(Ⅱ) ions was probably pseudo-first-order reaction process. The probe showed good selectivity toward copper ions and almost no interference except Ag+ ions by the selectivity and competitive experiments. The HeLa cells were used in the cell fluorescence imaging tests and it was demonstrated that the probe could be used in the phycological condition and showed weak cytotoxicity by the MTT experiments.

Abstract
The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism, photophysical properties of 8-(benzo[D] thiazole-2-yl)-7-hydroxy-2H-benzopyran-2-one (L-HKS) and the effect of O/Se atomic substitution on L-HKS have been studied in detail based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods. The S atom in the thiazole ring of L-HKS has been replaced by O/Se atom (denoted to L-HKO/L-HKSe) to analyze the effects of atomic electronegativity on the intramolecular H-bond, absorption/emission spectrum and ESIPT process. Through the analysis of series of calculated results, it can be found that the intramolecular H-bonds at normal form and tautomer form are enhanced and weakened in the S1 state, respectively, which is favorable to ESIPT process. The potential energy curves revealed that the ESIPT process is much easier to occur gradually from L-HKO to L-HKS and L-HKSe, as the electron-withdrawing ability of atom (from O to S and Se) is weakened. The atomic substitution also has an effect on the photophysical properties. From L-HKO to L-HKS, the emission peak at tautomer form red-shifts 70 nm. The energy gaps of the three compounds follow the decreased order of L-HKO (4.866 eV) > L-HKS (4.753 eV) > L-HKSe (4.371 eV) with the weakened electron-withdrawing ability of atom (from O to S and Se), which leads to the gradual red-shift of the absorption spectra from L-HKO to L-HKS and L-HKSe.

Abstract
Due to the cytotoxic potential of even low doses of Pd2+, the development of its detection and detoxification strategies is highly demanding. In this paper, we developed a water-soluble fluorescent probe IMQU-8 with a new scaffold for Pd2+ sensing. IMQU-8 can detect Pd2+ with high selectivity and sensitivity and has a good detection limit of 2.5 nM under physiological conditions. Its sensing mechanism has been revealed through job plot experiments and HRMS, FT-IR, 1H NMR and DFT calculations, which demonstrated that the N atoms of the pyridyl group and imino group are crucial for Pd2+ sensing. Fluorescence lifetime assessment indicated that IMQU-8 and IMQU-8-Pd have almost identical fluorescence lifetimes, implying that IMQU-8 undergoes static quenching toward Pd2+. Additionally, IMQU-8 has been successfully applied to image Pd2+ in living cells. Since IMQU-8 and its coordinated complex IMQU-8-Pd exhibit low toxicity, IMQU-8 has been applied for the detoxification of Pd2+ in living cells.

Abstract
Hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn) as an important member of reactive sulfur species is closely relevant to many physiological functions in redox homeostasis and metabolism. Dual-channel monitor the changes of H2Sn level in vivo is highly desired. Herein we design a simple ratiometric fluorescent probe based on flavone skeleton for highly selective detection of H2Sn. The probe HF-NA-MC bearing 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoic acid group inhibited the intramolecular ESIPT process, which show the blue fluorescence of adjacent naphthalene unit. In the presence of H2Sn, the enol form of probe is converted to conjugated keto form, resulted in a 90 nm red-shift of fluorescence emission from 450 nm to 540 nm. The ratiometric intensity (I540/I450) of the probe exhibits a good linear relationship toward H2Sn in the range of 0-120 μM, and the detection limit is estimated to be 0.63 μM. The ratiometric fluorescent probe shows high specificity and anti-interference ability for H2Sn over other related reactive sulfur species. The probe HF-NA-MC shows promising outlook and could be applied to the confocal imaging of H2Sn by dual emission channels in Hela cells.

Abstract
Owing to their bioorthogonality, transition metals have become very popular in the development of biocompatible bond-cleavage reactions. However, many approaches require design and synthesis of complex ligands or formulation of nanoparticles which often perform poorly in living cells. This work reports on a method for the generation of an active palladium species that triggers bond-cleaving reactions inside living cells. We utilized the water-soluble Na2PdCl4 as a simple source of Pd(II) which can be intracellularly reduced by sodium ascorbate to the active Pd(0) species. Once generated, Pd(0) triggers the cleavage of allyl ether and carbamate caging groups leading to the release of biologically active molecules. These findings do not only expand the toolbox of available bioorthogonal dissociative reactions but also provide an additional strategy for controlling the reactivity of Pd species involved in Pd-mediated bioorthogonal reactions.

Abstract
In this paper, density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) methods were used to investigate substituent effects and excited-state intramolecular double-proton transfer (ESIDPT) in 1, 3-bis (2-pyridylimino)-4, 7-dihydroxyisoindole (BPI–OH) and its derivatives. The results of a systematic study of the substituent effects of electron-withdrawing groups (F, Cl and Br) on the adjacent sites of the benzene ring were used to regulate the photophysical properties of the molecules and the dynamics of the proton-transfer process. Geometric structure comparisons and infrared (IR) spectroscopic analysis confirmed that strengthening of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in the first excited state (S1) facilitated proton transfer. Functional analysis of the reduced density gradient confirmed these conclusions. Double-proton transfer in BPI–OH is considered to occur in two steps, i.e., BPI–OH (N) [Formula: see text] BPI–OH (T1) [Formula: see text] BPI–OH (T2), in the ground state (S0) and the S1 state. The potential-energy curves (PECs) for two-step proton transfer were scanned for both the S0 and S1 states to clarify the mechanisms and pathways of proton transfer. The stepwise path in which two protons are consecutively transferred has a low energy barrier and is more rational and favorable. This study shows that the presence or absence of coordinating groups, and the type of coordinating group, affect the hydrogen-bond strength. A coordinating group enhances hydrogen-bond formation, i.e., it promotes excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT).

Abstract
3-Hydroxyflavon (3-HF) represents an interesting paradigmatic compound to study excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and intermolecular (ESInterPT) processes to explain the experimentally observed dual fluorescence in solvents containing protic contamination (water) as opposed to single fluorescence in highly purified nonpolar solvents. In this work, adiabatic on-the-fly molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for isolated 3-HF in an aqueous solution using a polarizable continuum model and including explicit water molecules to represent adequately hydrogen bonding. For the calculation of the excited state, time-dependent density functional theory and the Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) functional have been used. For the isolated 3-HF, ultrafast ESIPT from the enol group to the neighboring keto group has been observed. The calculated PT time of 48 fs agrees well with the experimental value of 39 fs. Addition of one water molecule quenches this ESIPT process but shows an intermolecular concerted or stepwise tautomerization process via the bridging water molecule. Adding a second or more water molecules inhibits this ESInterPT process to a large degree. Most of the trajectories do not show any PT, preserving the initial excited-state enol structure, which is the origin of the violet-blue fluorescence appearing in the solvents contaminated with protic components.

Abstract
This study investigates the fluorescence quenching mechanism of formaldehyde detection probe Naph1 and its contrast probe Naph3 in water samples and discussed the effect of the electron-donating group and electron-withdrawing group on fluorescence characteristics based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). We optimized the structures of the four probes Naph1, Naph1-S, Naph3, and Naph3-S (Scheme 1) and calculated the absorption and emission spectra, which were in good agreement with the experiment. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) were used to analyze the charge arrangement in the excited state. To investigate the intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) phenomenon, a potential energy curve was constructed. The amount of fragment charge transfer was analyzed by the IFCT method, and then it was determined whether there was an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process. It was found that there was an ICT process in Naph3. The electronic effect of the functional groups did not determine the ICT characteristics and the fluorescence characteristics of the substance. Furthermore, the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) constant based on the intersystem crossing (ISC) was supplemented, which showed that the fluorescence quenching of Naph1 and Naph3 was caused by the ISC and the corresponding quenching of Naph3-S was caused by charge transfer (CT) in the excited state.

Abstract
The photophysical properties and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes for 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-chloromethylthiazole (1), 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-phenylthiazole (2), 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-hydroxymethyl-thiazole (3) were studied at the TD-B3PW91/6-31 + G(d, p)/IEFPCM level. The structures of 1-3 were fully optimized and the corresponding structural parameters, infrared spectra and electron densities in the ground (S0) and the first excited (S1) states were analyzed. The calculated absorption and fluorescence wavelengths of 1-3 reproduced the experimental data. The potential energy curves of the S0 and S1 states were built and the ESIPT processes were clarified. Our results showed that the intramolecular H-bonds of 3 and 2 in the S1 state were the strongest and the weakest, respectively, and then the ESIPT potential barriers of 3 and 2 were the lowest and highest, respectively. Among the three phenol-thiazole type probes, the compound 2 with phenyl ring group at the 4 position of the thiazole ring had the larger π-conjugation, and had the higher ESIPT potential barrier at the same time. The corresponding compound 1 and 3 with CH2Cl and CH2OH had the lower ESIPT barrier.

Abstract
To investigate substitution effects on excited-state intermolecular proton transfer (ESPT) reactions as well as acidity of proton donating fragments in the ground state, we synthesized substituted anthracen-2-yl-3-phenylurea derivatives that form a hydrogen bonds with acetate anions and undergo ESPT reaction. Fluorescence lifetime measurements and their kinetic analyses revealed that the trifluoromethyl group on the phenyl ring as an electron-withdrawing group caused a slow ESPT reaction despite an increase in the acidity of the N-H fragment in the ground state. In contrast, the methoxy group as a donating group leads to a fast ESPT reaction despite a reduction of the acidity of the N-H fragment in the ground state. These effects of substituents on ESPT reaction are due to their influence on the charge transfer reaction, which occurs from the N-H fragment to the anthryl ring to increase the acidity of N-H followed by ESPT reaction, over the urea unit by a combination of resonance and inductive effects. These opposing effects of substituents on the acidity of the urea unit in the ground and excited states provide an important insight in balancing the reactivity of proton transfer reaction in both the excited and ground states.

Abstract
In this paper, a photoinduced electron transfer (PET)& twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT)-based fluorescent probe (1) for detecting biothiols (GSH/Cys/Hcy) and hydrogen sulfide with fluorescence turn on was developed. The probe could recognize hydrogen sulfide over primary ions and selectively detect GSH/Cys/Hcy over other amino acids with fluorescence turn-on (an ESIPT process). H2S can be distinguished from GSH/Cys/Hcy with wavelength shift by UV-Vis spectra. In addition, detection limits for H2S/GSH/Cys/Hcy of probe 1 were 1.42 μM (0-100 μM), 0.13 μM (0-40 μM), 0.27 (0-30 μM), 0.22 μM (0-40 μM), respectively. The proposed thiolysis of the 2,4-dinitrochlorophenyl ether reaction in identification process was verified by the characteristic peak in 1H NMR and HRMS spectra. Finally, the biological imaging experiments and low cytotoxicity investigations in HeLa cells demonstrated that probe 1 could provide a promising method for the determination of H2S and biothiols in aqueous solution and living cells.

Abstract
Infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, especially the drug-resistant bacteria, are posing a devastating threat to public health, which underscores the urgent needs for advanced strategies to effectively prevent and treat these intractable issues. Here we report a feasible and effective theranostic platform based on an enzyme-sensitive and photoactivatable carbon monoxide releasing molecule (CORM-Ac) for the successive detection and elimination of bacterial infection. The extracellular bacterial lipase can trigger the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) via elimination of the ester group in CORM-Ac, thus providing a fluorescence switch for an early warning of infection. Subsequently, the potent bactericidal therapy against the model bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and notorious methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), was readily realized via photoinduced release of CO. In addition, the CORM-Ac and CORM showed good biocompatibility within a wide range of concentrations. The results of an infected animal wound test also demonstrated that the CORM-Ac-loaded gauze was effective in indicating the wound infection and accelerating the wound healing via the photoinduced CO release. The simplicity, functional integration, good biocompatibility and broad adaptability make CORM-Ac very attractive for bacterial theranostic applications.

Abstract
1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), which forms weak hydrogen bonds despite the high basicity caused by its hindered structure, was used to investigate tautomer formation via excited-state intermolecular proton-transfer (ESPT) reactions. The kinetics of the ESPT reactions of anthracen-2-yl-3-phenylurea (2PUA) in the presence of DBU were compared to that observed for the acetate anion (Ac) using time-resolved fluorescence measurement. Based on the association constants in the ground state, the intermolecular hydrogen bond between 2PUA and DBU was less stable than the bond between 2PUA and Ac due to steric hindrance and the geometry of the hydrogen bond. In the fluorescence spectra, 2PUA-DBU displayed prominent tautomeric emission in chloroform (CHCl3), whereas 2PUA-Ac exhibited distinct tautomeric emissions in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Kinetic analysis revealed that the rate constant of the ESPT reaction of 2PUA-DBU remarkably decreased when the proton-accepting ability of the solvent increased whereas the reaction of 2PUA-Ac was linked to the solvent polarity rather than proton-accepting ability. These results indicated that moderate hydrogen bonds due to steric hindrance were influenced by the type of solvent present, particularly if the solvents exhibited proton-accepting capabilities like DMSO. This, in turn, affected the rate constant of tautomer formation.

Abstract
A bright far-red emitting flavonoid derivative (FuraET) was synthesized in good yields by inserting a π extension group (i.e., furan) into the flavonoid skeleton, via using the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. FuaraET exhibited optical absorption at λab ≈ 450 nm and emission λem ≈ 660 nm by recognizing as the first far-red emitting flavonoid derivative reported. FuraET exhibited a large Stokes shift (Δλ > 150 nm) high fluorescent quantum yield (φfl ≈ 0.2-0.4), and good photostability indicating excellent characteristics for an imaging probe. Live cell fluorescent confocal microscopy imaging revealed the exceptional selectivity of the FuraET towards cellular lysosomes (Mander's overlap coefficients >0.9). The observed non-alkalinizing nature and high biocompatibility (LC50 > 50 µM) suggested that FuraET can a reliable lysosome marker for live cell imaging experiments. Our further study also indicated that FuraET may likely internalized into hydrophobic regions of the cellular lysosomes in contrast to acidic lysosomal lumen.

Abstract
2-(2'-Hydroxyphenyl) thiazole-4-carboxaldeyde (aldehyde 1) and hemiacetal 2 were selected to study the mechanism of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and the detecting of Al3+ ion in methanol by using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods. Our theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental values. The intramolecular H-bond is enhanced in the first excited-state based on the analyses of structural parameters, frontier molecular orbitals and electronic spectra. The stronger intramolecular H-bond is more favorable for ESIPT process. In order to further demonstrate the proton transfer process, we constructed the potential energy curves of probe 1 and 2 in both ground- and excited-states, and concluded that proton transfer processes in probe 1 and 2 are apt to happen in the S1 state. In addition, the Mayer bond order, energy gap and absorption and fluorescence spectra were applied to interpret the process of detection of Al3+ ion.

Abstract
The substituted effect on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of o-LHBDI derivatives (4R-o-LHBDI) was investigated by DFT and TD-DFT methods. The structures of 4R-o-LHBDI (R: OH, NH2, CN, NO2, CF3) were fully optimized, and the H-bond distances, bond angles, and infrared spectra of the atoms involved in PT process in the S0 and S1 states were analyzed. The absorption and fluorescence spectra were calculated, and the potential energy curves in both S0 and S1 states were constructed. Moreover, the effects of different substituents on the ESIPT mechanism of 4R-o-LHBDI (R: OH, NH2, CN, NO2, CF3) were studied. The results indicate that ESIPT in the 4R-o-LHBDI is a little harder to proceed than that in o-LHBDI since the ESIPT barrier of 4R-o-LHBDI is slightly bigger than that value of o-LHBDI. When the substituent has stronger electron-withdrawing ability or weaker electron-donating ability, the ESIPT process has the smaller potential barrier. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The fluorescence properties of 4'-methoxy-3-hydroxyflavone (M3HF) dye in different solvents were investigated through experimental (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018, 20, 7885) and theoretical (Org. Chem. Front., 2019, 6, 218) methods. However, the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between M3HF and solvents were ignored. In this work, we investigated the effect of methanol (MeOH) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of M3HF fluorescent dye. In excited state (S1), the intramolecular hydrogen bonds are significantly strengthened, which can facilitate the ESIPT processes. The calculated absorption and fluorescence spectra agree well with the experimental date. The fluorescence spectra of M3HF and ESIPT tautomers (T⁎) were found to be sensitive to the solvent polarity. Upon photo-excitation, the electron density of the M3HF molecular is redistributed, which can provide driving force for the ESIPT. The polar solvents MeOH (hydrogen bond donor) and DMF (hydrogen bond acceptor) can form different types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds with M3HF. The two different bonding modes of intermolecular hydrogen bonds are expected to weaken the intramolecular hydrogen bond of M3HF to varying degrees. The analysis of the potential energy curves indicate that the ESIPT processes of M3HF can be hindered by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular hydrogen bond of M3HF-DMF complex is weaker than that of M3HF-MeOH complex, while the potential barrier of the ESIPT process in DMF solvent is higher than that of in the MeOH solvent. This is principally because, in DMF solvent, the hydroxyl group H1 atom of M3HF can be captured by the O3 atom of DMF and form O3H1 bond with O3 atom in the intermediate process of ESIPT. There appears an energy barrier hopping point on the potential energy curve of M3HF in DMF solvent but does not appear in MeOH solvent.

Abstract
Designing a fluorogenic probe for the determination of Pd2+ is a challenging analytical task. Pd2+ is a potentially toxic and harmful substance even at a very low level of contamination in the end product. Herein, a promising spirolactam-functionalized chemosensor, rhodamine-appended benzophenone (HBR), is designed and characterized by spectroscopic (1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS, and FT-IR) data along with the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. It acts as a highly sensitive and selective fluorogenic chemosensor for Pd2+ ions over other environmentally relevant cations in aqueous ethanol (1:1, v/v) at pH 7.4. The limit of detection (LOD) is 34 nM that is far below the WHO recommended Pd uptake (47 μM). The plausible mechanism involves the specific binding of HBR with Pd2+ and the formation of 1:1 stoichiometry of the complex, which has been supported by ESI-MS, FT-IR data, Job plot, and association constant data (Benesi-Hildebrand plot). The computation study has been attempted to explain the ring cleavage fluorescence enhancement scheme of HBR upon binding with Pd2+. Furthermore, this "turn-on" probe has successfully applied to image the Pd2+ ion in cultured MDA-MB-231 cells.

Abstract
2-(4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl)-3-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-4Hchromen-4-one (HOF) was synthesized in experiment (Wang et al., Sensor. Actuat. B-Chem. 277 (2018) 484), and its photophysical and photochemical properties was reported. However the corresponding full theoretical interpretation of mechanisms is inadequate. In the present research, the intermolecular hydrogen bond structure of HOF-methanol complex (HOF-2M) was found, and mechanism of alcohols monitoring of HOF was deeply studied using the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The enhancing mechanism of the excited state hydrogen bond is verified by analyzing the hydrogen bond parameters, infrared spectra and frontier molecular orbitals. Importantly, the reduced density gradient visual analysis and topological quantificational analysis confirm that the intramolecular hydrogen bond of HOF is broken by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds of HOF-2M using the Atoms-In-Molecule theory. The obtained absorption and emission spectra are found to agree well with the experimental results and the complete quenched keto-emission in methanol and ethanol solvents provide a suitable sensing mechanism for detecting alcohols. The reaction path of the excited state intramolecular proton transfer for HOF is explained in detail through the constructed potential energy curves.

Abstract
Due to the significant applications in bioimaging, sensing, optoelectronics etc., photoluminescent materials have attracted more and more attention in recent years. 1,5-Benzodiazepin-2-one and its derivatives have been used as fluorogenic probes for the detection of biothiols. However, their photochemical and photophysical properties have remained ambiguous until now. In this work, we have adopted combined static electronic structure calculations and nonadiabatic surface-hopping dynamics simulations to study the photochemical mechanism of 1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one. Firstly, we optimized minima and conical intersections in S0 and S1 states; then, we proposed three nonadiabatic decay pathways that efficiently populate the ground state from the Franck-Condon region based on computed electronic structure information and dynamics simulations. In the first pathway, upon photoexcitation to the S1 state, the system proceeds with an ultrafast excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. Then, the molecule tends to rotate around the C-C bond until it encounters keto conical intersections, from which the system can easily decay to the ground state. The other two pathways involve the enol channels in which the S1 system hops to the ground state via two enol S1/S0 conical intersections, respectively. These three energetically allowed S1 excited-state deactivation pathways are responsible for the decrease of fluorescence quantum yield. The present work will provide detailed mechanistic information of similar systems.

Abstract
In order to understand the fine-tuned photo-physical behaviors of the N(X)-H⋯N systems, the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) switching in the N-substituted X1-5-NHIPA molecules (NHIPA = 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)aniline and X = H, COCH3, CH3C6H4SO2, C6F5SO2, and COCF3) were investigated in detail in gas phase and three solvent media at TD-PBE0/6-311++G(d,p) and TD-M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) levels of theory. ESIPT reactions at S1 state were approximately without energy barrier, exergonic processes and were quantitatively demonstrated to be mainly sensitive to substituents and solvent media. The X-NHIPA (X = CH3C6H4SO2, C6F5SO2 and CF3CO) compounds were predicted to undergo fast, irreversible proton transfer at S1 state and, in turn, exhibit tautomer emission with anomalous large Stokes shift in the gas phase. In the toluene solvent, except for C6F5SO2-NHIPA that showed exclusively a tautomer emission with a long wavelength, all other X-NHIPA molecules were predicted to involve in the reversible ESIPT and hence exhibit a dual normal and tautomer emissions behavior, in good agreement with the experimental observations. In polar solvents, it is expected that all compounds show dual normal and tautomer emissions. The nearly equal intensities of the normal and tautomer emissions can lead to the generation of the white lights with the potential in lighting applications.
