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
Five new derivatives were obtained utilizing 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-chloride) in combination with furfurylamine, adamantylamine, aminohippuric acid, phenylalanine, and dehydroabietylamine. These derivatives were then subjected to a comparative analysis of their physical, chemical, and certain biological properties alongside two analogous and known compounds derived from the glycine and 4-amino-TEMPO free radical.

Abstract
Compounds with a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) skeleton exhibit prominent useful properties including environmental sensitivity, high reactivity toward amines and biothiols (including H2S) accompanied by distinct colorimetric and fluorescent changes, fluorescence-quenching ability, and small size, all of which facilitate biomolecular sensing and self-assembly. Amines are important biological nucleophiles, and the unique activity of NBD ethers with amines has allowed for site-specific protein labelling and for the detection of enzyme activities. Both H2S and biothiols are involved in a wide range of physiological processes in mammals, and misregulation of these small molecules is associated with numerous diseases including cancers. In this review, we focus on NBD-based synthetic probes as advanced chemical tools for biomolecular sensing. Specifically, we discuss the sensing mechanisms and selectivity of the probes, the design strategies for multi-reactable multi-quenching probes, and the associated biological applications of these important constructs. We also highlight self-assembled NBD-based probes and outline future directions for NBD-based chemosensors. We hope that this comprehensive review will facilitate the development of future probes for investigating and understanding different biological processes and aid the development of potential theranostic agents.

Abstract
Counterfeiting and inverse engineering of security and confidential documents, such as banknotes, passports, national cards, certificates, and valuable products, has significantly been increased, which is a major challenge for governments, companies, and customers. From recent global reports published in 2017, the counterfeiting market was evaluated to be $107.26 billion in 2016 and forecasted to reach $206.57 billion by 2021 at a compound annual growth rate of 14.0%. Development of anticounterfeiting and authentication technologies with multilevel securities is a powerful solution to overcome this challenge. Stimuli-chromic (photochromic, hydrochromic, and thermochromic) and photoluminescent (fluorescent and phosphorescent) compounds are the most significant and applicable materials for development of complex anticounterfeiting inks with a high-security level and fast authentication. Highly efficient anticounterfeiting and authentication technologies have been developed to reach high security and efficiency. Applicable materials for anticounterfeiting applications are generally based on photochromic and photoluminescent compounds, for which hydrochromic and thermochromic materials have extensively been used in recent decades. A wide range of materials, such as organic and inorganic metal complexes, polymer nanoparticles, quantum dots, polymer dots, carbon dots, upconverting nanoparticles, and supramolecular structures, could display all of these phenomena depending on their physical and chemical characteristics. The polymeric anticounterfeiting inks have recently received significant attention because of their high stability for printing on confidential documents. In addition, the printing technologies including hand-writing, stamping, inkjet printing, screen printing, and anticounterfeiting labels are discussed for introduction of the most efficient methods for application of different anticounterfeiting inks. This review would help scientists to design and develop the most applicable encryption, authentication, and anticounterfeiting technologies with high security, fast detection, and potential applications in security marking and information encryption on various substrates.

Abstract
A two-component charge transfer (CT) hydrogel has been derived from a supramolecular heteroassembly of a pyrene amino acid conjugate (PyHisOH, donor) with a 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Ox, acceptor) derivative in aqueous medium. The mechanical stiffness, as well as the thermal stability of the CT hydrogels largely depend on the relative ratios of donor and acceptor units as well as on their overall concentration. Moreover, the gel-to-sol transition is found to be susceptible to various external stimuli such as heat, pH, metal ions, etc. Circular dichroism and morphological investigation reveal the formation of left-handed helical fibers in the CT gel network. XRD studies show the lamellar packing of the interactive units in the 3D network of the CT hydrogel. The determination of different rheological parameters confirms the viscoelastic as well as the thixotropic nature of the CT gel. Furthermore, the CT gel is employed for turn-on sensing of biogenic thiols, cyan fluorescence was observed with cysteine/homocysteine, while blue fluorescence with glutathione. Nucleophilic attack at the NBD moiety leads to the formation of thermodynamically stable amino-linked derivatives for cysteine or homocysteine and kinetically controlled thiol-linked adduct for glutathione. Thus, the current system presents a unique opportunity, where a CT hydrogel sample is involved for discriminating biogenic thiols via specific chemodosimetric interactions.

Abstract
Single crystal X-ray structurally characterized benzimidazole-naphthalene hybrid (NABI) functions as a unique dual analyte sensor that can detect Zn2+ cation and N3- anion independently. The NABI forms chelate with Zn2+ to inhibit internal charge transfer (ICT) and CHN isomerisation resulting chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF). On the other hand, the sensing of N3- is based on formation of supramolecular H-bonded rigid assembly. The association constant of NABI for Zn2+ and N3- ions are 19 × 104 M-1 and 11 × 102 M-1, respectively. Corresponding limit of detections (LOD) are 6.85 × 10-8 and 1.82 × 10-7 M, respectively. NABI efficiently detects intracellular Zn2+ and N3- ions with no cytotoxicity on J774A.1cells under fluorescence microscope. DFT studies unlock underlying spectroscopic properties of free NABI and Zn2+/N3- bound forms.

Abstract
Sodium azide is toxic and widely used in agricultural, commercial products, and research laboratories. Thus it is of a significant environmental concern and there is a need for the development of a rapid detection method. A fluorogenic dibenzylcyclooctyne derivative (Fl-DIBO) is herein described as a fluorescent probe for the rapid detection of inorganic azide via Strain-Promoted Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition (SPAAC). Fl-DIBO was found to be highly selective toward NaN3 in comparison to other common anions with good sensitivity and detection limit of 10μM.
