Abstract
It has been a long-standing challenge to develop organic molecular capsules for selective anion binding in water. Here, selective recognition of aqueous fluoride was achieved through triple protonation of a hemicryptophane (L), which is composed of a fluorescent cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) cap and tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) as the anion binding site. Fluoride encapsulation by [3H-L]3+ was evidenced by 1H NMR, 19F NMR, LC-MS, and X-ray crystallography. In addition, [3H-L]3+ exhibited a 'turn-on' fluorescence signal (λ em = 324 nm) upon fluoride addition. An apparent association constant K A = (7.5 ± 0.4) × 104 M-1 and a detection limit of 570 nM fluoride were extracted from the fluorescence titration experiments in citrate buffer at pH 4.1. To the best of our knowledge, [3H-L]3+ is the first example of a metal-free molecular capsule that reports on fluoride binding in purely aqueous solutions with a fluorescence response. Finally, the protonated capsule was supported on silica gel, which enabled adsorptive removal of stoichiometric fluoride from water and highlights real-world applications of this organic host-guest chemistry.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a fundamental signaling molecule that shows complex effects on the catabolic autophagy process, which is closely linked with lysosomal function. In this study, a new lysosome-targeted, pH-independent, and two-photon phosphorescent iridium(III) complex, Ir-BPDA, has been investigated for endogenous NO detection and imaging. The rational design of the probe, as the addition of the morpholine moieties and the substitution of a benzyl group in the amino group in Ir-BPDA, facilitates its accumulation in lysosomes and makes the reaction product with NO, Ir-BPDA-NO, insusceptible in its phosphorescence intensity and lifetime against pH changes (pH 4-10), well suited for lysosomal NO detection (pH 4-6). Furthermore, Ir-BPDA exhibits a fast and 50-fold response to NO in phosphorescence intensity and a two-photon cross-section as high as 60 GM after the reaction, as well as a notably increased phosphorescence lifetime from 200.1 to 619.6 ns. Thus, accompanied by its photostability, Ir-BPDA enabled the detection of NO in the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages and zebrafish model, revealing the endogenous lysosomal NO distribution during inflammation in vivo by means of both TPM and PLIM imaging techniques.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe, phenolphthalein‑dialdehyde‑(2‑pyridyl) hydrazone (L), for sequentially detecting Al3+ and F- in almost 100% aqueous medium was successfully designed and synthesized. The probe offers two binding pockets for Al3+ to form a 1: 2 ligand/metal complex, leading to a significant fluorescence enhancement at 465 nm. Further, the in-situ formed L-Al complex acts as a secondary fluorescent chemosensor for F- by quenching the fluorescence of the complex with high selectivity. The detection limit for Al3+ and F- sensing is 2.28 nM and 0.13 μM, respectively, which are far below the World Health Organization (WHO) acceptable limits (7.41 μM for Al3+ ion and 79 μM for F-) in drinking water. The probe L was successfully applied to the detection of Al3+ and F- in cells using fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
The unique features of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSNs) provide a suitable platform to carry fluorescence dyes for various bioimaging applications. Several strategies have been developed to conjugate a variety of dyes either in the pores or on the surfaces of MSNs to form the fluorescence MSNs (FMSNs). In this chapter, we will discuss recent research progress and future development of FMSNs for living system imaging. We will first describe different strategies for the fabrications of FMSNs. Then, we will discuss the recent developments of cellular and intracellular imaging including self-probe for the interactions of FMSNs with the cells, receptor and organelle labeling, sensing and tracking of biological system, and monitoring the drug delivery and release processes. Moreover, we will include the applications of FMSNs as contrast agents for in vivo imaging. Finally, we will conclude and highlight the challenges and opportunities for MSNs in medical applications.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO- ), a potent biological oxidant, which has a short half-life in physiological conditions, is related to many diseases. Accurate peroxynitrite determination with superior selectivity and sensitivity is important for understanding biological roles of peroxynitrite in different health and disease tissues. Autofluorescence is an inevitable interference in luminescence biodetection and bioimaging, which often reduces signal-to-noise ratio during detection. In this work, a phosphorescent peroxynitrite nanoprobe (MSN-ONOO) which displays two emission bands is prepared by immobilizing two long-lived phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes that are peroxynitrite-activable and -inert, respectively, into water-dispersible mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Owing to the fast response rate, excellent sensitivity and outstanding selectivity of the nanoprobe toward peroxynitrite, it is further used for peroxynitrite determination in vitro and in vivo via ratiometric photoluminescence imaging. More notably, taking advantage of the long-lived phosphorescence of MSN-ONOO, in vivo elevated peroxynitrite is imaged with diminished autofluorescence interference and improved signal-to-noise ratio via time-resolved photoluminescence imaging. As far as it is known, this is the first time for endogenous peroxynitrite detection in vivo via the time-resolved photoluminescence imaging. Furthermore, the production of peroxynitrite in inflamed tissues is visualized.

Abstract
A novel photoluminescence lifetime probe (Ir-TB) has been developed for the detection and imaging of hCE2 in living cells. A large lifetime increase by around 300 ns after the enzymatic reaction makes it an ideal tool to distinguish hCE2-hydrolyzed probes from those non-hydrolyzed ones via PLIM for the first time.

Abstract
Exploring and understanding biological and pathological changes are of great significance for early diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Optical sensing and imaging approaches have experienced major progress in this field. Particularly, an emergence of various functional optical nanoprobes has provided enhanced sensitivity, specificity, targeting ability, as well as multiplexing and multimodal capabilities due to improvements in their intrinsic physicochemical and optical properties. However, one of the biggest challenges of conventional optical nanoprobes is their absolute intensity-dependent signal readout, which causes inaccurate sensing and imaging results due to the presence of various analyte-independent factors that can cause fluctuations in their absolute signal intensity. Ratiometric measurements provide built-in self-calibration for signal correction, enabling more sensitive and reliable detection. Optimizing nanoprobe designs with ratiometric strategies can surmount many of the limitations encountered by traditional optical nanoprobes. This review first elaborates upon existing optical nanoprobes that exploit ratiometric measurements for improved sensing and imaging, including fluorescence, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photoacoustic nanoprobes. Next, a thorough discussion is provided on design strategies for these nanoprobes, and their potential biomedical applications for targeting specific biomolecule populations (e.g. cancer biomarkers and small molecules with physiological relevance), for imaging the tumor microenvironment (e.g. pH, reactive oxygen species, hypoxia, enzyme and metal ions), as well as for intraoperative image guidance of tumor-resection procedures.

Abstract
Thallium (Tl) is an extremely toxic heavy metal and exists in very low concentrations in the environment, but its sensing is largely underexplored as compared to its neighboring elements in the periodic table (especially mercury and lead). In this work, we developed a ratiometric phosphorescent nanoprobe for thallium detection based on Mn-doped ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) and water-soluble carbon dots (C-dots). Upon excitation with 360 nm, Mn-doped ZnSe QDs and C-dots can emit long-lived and spectrally resolved phosphorescence at 580 and 440 nm, respectively. In the presence of thallium, the phosphorescence emission from Mn-doped ZnSe QDs could be selectively quenched, while that from C-dots retained unchanged. Therefore, a ratiometric phosphorescent probe was thus developed, which can eliminate the potential influence from both background fluorescence and other analyte-independent external environment factors. Several other heavy metal ions caused interferences to thallium detection but could be efficiently masked with EDTA. The proposed method offered a detection limit of 1 μg/L, which is among the most sensitive probes ever reported. Successful application of this method for thallium detection in biological serum as well as in environmental water and soil samples was demonstrated.

Abstract
A novel silicon-oxygen aurone derivative TBDPSA was synthesized and used for the detection of fluoride anions in aqueous solution based on a specifically F--triggered silicon-oxygen cleavage. Even though the compound has shown high selectivity, obvious absorption and fluorescence response for fluoride anions in aqueous solution, but it also is suffered from many limits, such as low detection sensitivity and long response time. Here the compound was successfully assembled on the graphene oxide (GO) surface by π-π stacking. GO improves recognition sensitivity and shortens response time of TBDPSA for fluoride anions by taking advantage of the nanocarrier GO. Compared with TBDPSA, the response time of GO/TBDPSA is shortened greatly from 1h to <5s and the detection limit is lowered about four times with fluorescence as detected signal. Generally speaking, GO is an excellent promoter for accelerate recognition.

Abstract
Most recently, stimuli-responsive luminescent materials have attracted increasing interest because they can exhibit tunable emissive properties which are sensitive to external physical stimuli, such as light, temperature, force, and electric field. Among these stimuli, electric field is an important external stimulus. However, examples of electrochromic luminescent materials that exhibit emission color change induced by an electric field are limited. Herein, we have proposed a new strategy to develop electrochromic luminescent materials based on luminescent ion pairs. Six tunable emissive ion pairs (IP1-IP6) based on iridium(iii) complexes have been designed and synthesized. The emission spectra of ion pairs (IPs) show concentration dependence and the energy transfer process is very efficient between positive and negative ions. Interestingly, IP6 displayed white emission at a certain concentration in solution or solid state. Thus, in this contribution, UV-chip (365 nm) excited light-emitting diodes showing orange, light yellow and white emission colors were successfully fabricated. Furthermore, IPs displayed tunable and reversible electrochromic luminescence. For example, upon applying a voltage of 3 V onto the electrodes, the emission color of the solution of IP1 near the anode or cathode changed from yellow to red or green, respectively. Color tunable electrochromic luminescence has also been realized by using other IPs. Finally, a solid-film electrochromic switch device with a sandwiched structure using IP1 has been fabricated successfully, which exhibited fast and reversible emission color change.

Abstract
A novel phosphorescent probe based on ion-paired iridium(III) complex has been designed and synthesized by incorporating α,β-unsaturated ketone moiety in the cationic component. The phosphorescent intensity of cationic component is sensitive to bithiols, such as cysteine and homocysteine, based on the addition reaction of bithiols with α,β-unsaturated ketone moiety, while that of the anionic component remains unchanged. Thus, this ion-paired iridium(III) complex can be used for ratiometric luminescence sensing and imaging of intracellular biothiols with excellent sensing performance. Moreover, the long phosphorescence lifetime of the cationic component is also sensitive to bithiols. Hence, this ion-paired iridium(III) complex has been further used for time-resolved luminescence imaging of intracellular biothiols. As far as we know, this is the first report about molecular probe for both ratiometric and time-resolved luminescence imaging of intracellular biothiols.

Abstract
A T-shaped Schiff-base triazatruxene derivative (TATNFF) was designed, synthesized, and explored as a sensitive probe to detect HCl gas by the naked eye. The remarkable color change of TATNFF with turn-on behavior in the presence of a trace amount of HCl gas was obviously observed by the naked eye, which opens up a new strategy to explore a novel set of smart responsive materials for sensing applications.
