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
Nitroxyl (HNO) exhibits unique favorable properties in regulating biological and pharmacological activities. However, currently, there is only one Cu-based HNO sensor that can be recycled for reusable detection, which is a Cu cyclam derivative with a mixed thia/aza ligand. To elucidate the missing mechanistic origin of its high HNO reactivity and subsequent favorable conformation change toward a stable CuI product that is critical to be oxidized back by the physiological O2 level for HNO detection again, a density functional theory (DFT) computational study was performed. It not only reproduced experimental structural and reaction properties but also, more importantly, revealed an unknown role of the coordination atom in high reactivity. Its conformation change mechanism was found to not follow the previously proposed one but involve a novel favorable rotation pathway. Several newly designed complexes incorporating beneficial effects of coordination atoms and substituents to further enhance HNO reactivity while maintaining or even improving favorable conformation changes for reusable HNO detection were computationally validated. These novel results will facilitate the future development of reusable HNO sensors for true spatiotemporal resolution and repeated detection.

Abstract
HNO has broad chemical and biomedical properties. Metal complexes and derivatives are widely used to make excellent HNO sensors. However, their favorable mechanistic origins are largely unknown. Cu cyclam is a useful platform to make excellent HNO sensors including imaging agents. A quantum chemical study of Cu cyclams with various substitutions was performed, which reproduced diverse experimental reactivities. Structural, electronic, and energetic profiles along reaction pathways show the importance of HNO binding and a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism for HNO reaction. Results reveal that steric effect is primary and electronic factor is secondary (if the redox potential is sufficient), but their interwoven effects can lead to unexpected reactivity, which looks mysterious experimentally but can be explained computationally. This work suggests rational substituent design ideas and recommends a theoretical study of a new design to save time and cost due to its subtle effect.

Abstract
The effective monitoring of water pollution and further purification are pressing yet challenging issues for guaranteeing the health of human beings and the stabilization of ecological systems. For this purpose, the development of efficient sensing and adsorption materials as a result of supramolecular interactions, including coordination and H-bonding etc., have been attracting increasing attention. With the aid of a coordination-driven self-assembly strategy, a new nonporous 2D CuII coordination network, [Cu2L(H2O)2]n (donated as CuCP), based on H4L, where H4L = 4-(4-(3,5-di-carboxy-pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, was afforded hydrothermally. Structural analysis indicated that CuCP featured a wrinkled network similar to the ancient Chinese folding screens and constructed by the fully deprotonated ligand L4- with the coordination mode of bis(μ2-η1:η1:η2) and penta-coordinated Cu2+, which could be further upgraded to a supramolecular 3D framework as a result of the synergism of multiple C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The hydrostability of CuCP could be maintained within a wide pH range from 2 to 12 as verified by PXRD determination, endowing it with potential environmental applications. Thanks to the combination of the soft Lewis acidity of Cu2+ and its large conjugated structure, CuCP could be used as a turn-on fluorescence sensor for S2- and exhibited a different fluorescence response when Na2S, (NH4)2S or H2S were incorporated, even in actual water samples. The sensing mechanisms were disclosed in detail by the combination of experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Furthermore, CuCP was shown to be a selective and recoverable adsorbent with a maximum adsorption capacity of 379 mg g-1 in 60 minutes for methylene blue (MB). The adsorption mechanism could be a combination of π⋯π stacking, n⋯π interaction, aggregation effects and Soft and Hard Acid-Base theory (HSAB). The results presented herein open up new perspectives for CuII species in environmental applications.

Abstract
A completely water-soluble, high quantum yield blue-fluorescent benzimidazole derivative (AQ), containing a rigid benzimidazole-thiophene structure, was synthesized. Among 21 metal ions, the fluorescence of AQ was selectively turned off by Cu2+ to form an AQ-Cu2+ ensemble. Thereafter, the fluorescence of the AQ-Cu2+ ensemble was turned on by sulfide (S2-) with high selectivity and sensitivity in pure water solution. In comparison with AQ-Ag+ and AQ-Hg2+ ensembles, AQ-Cu2+ was the only ensemble that was capable of detecting a sulfide anion. Also, the fluorescence intensity of AQ was linearly proportional to the concentration of Cu2+ and S2-. Both Cu2+ and S2- were detected within a minute in vitro. Moreover, AQ worked best in the pH range of 5-10 and had a limit of detection of 50 nM and 354 nM for Cu2+ and S2- respectively. It was employed for the detection of sulfide in human lung cancer A549 cells with low cytotoxicity.
