Abstract
The emission of venenous sulfur dioxide (SO2) and its derivatives from industrial applications such as coking, transportation and food processing has caused great concern about public health and environmental quality. Probes that enable sensitivity and specificity to detect SO2 derivatives play a crucial role in its regulations and finally mitigating its environmental and health impacts, but fluorescent probes that can accurately, rapidly and on-site detect SO2 derivatives in foodstuffs and environmental systems rarely reported. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (ZTX) for the ratiometric response of bisulfite (HSO3-) was designed and synthesized by regulating the structure of high-performance HSO3- fluorescent probe SL previously reported by us based on structural analyses, theoretical calculations and related literature reports. The Michael addition reaction between the electronic-deficient C=C bond and HSO3- destroys ZTX's π-conjugation system and blocks its intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process, resulting in a significant fading of the fuchsia solution and the bluish-purple fluorescence turned light blue fluorescence. Fluorescent imaging of HSO3- in live animals utilizing ZTX has been demonstrated. The quantitative analysis of HSO3- in food samples using ZTXvia a smartphone has been also successfully implemented. Simultaneously, the ZTX-based test strips were utilized to quantificationally determine HSO3- in environmental water samples by a smartphone. Consequently, probe ZTX could provide a new method to understand the physiopathological roles of HSO3-, evaluate food safety and monitor environment, and is promising for broad applications.

Abstract
Semicarbazide (SEM) is a metabolite of antibiotic nitrofurazone and a food contaminant in food production, showing potential carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and toxic effects on human health. It is urgent to develop a highly efficient and sensitive assay for visual detection of SEM. In this paper, a pyrrolopyrrole cyanine fluorescent probe (PPCy-1) was reported for visualization and quantitative analysis of SEM through a chromophore reaction sensing mechanism for the first time. The probe towards SEM exhibited a fast response (10 min), a low detection limit (0.18 μM), high selectivity, and distinct dual ratiometric fluorescence turn-on and colorimetric modes. Its practicability was further verified by detecting SEM in meat, water, and honey samples with satisfactory recovery values. More importantly, a smartphone-assisted portable testing platform was constructed based on a PPCy-1-immobilized test paper or a polyamide thin film with a color scanning APP for real-time and on-site detection of SEM. This work provides low-cost, convenient, and rapid assays for visual SEM detection, which have potential applications in food safety monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For a long time, the environment hazards caused by cyanobacteria bloom and associated microcystins have attracted attention worldwide. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is the most widely distributed and most toxic toxin. At present, numerous MC-LR detection methods exist many drawbacks. Therefore, a quick and accurate method for identifying and detecting MC-LR is crucial and necessary. In this work, we strived to introduce a novel fluorescence assay to detect MC-LR in the water and cells. RESULTS According to the special spatial configuration and physicochemical properties of MC-LR, we designed and constructed six fluorescent probes. The design concepts of the probes were exhaustively elaborated. MC-YdTPA, MC-YdTPE, MC-RdTPA, and MC-RdTPE could show significant fluorescence enhancement in MC-LR solution. Significantly, MC-YdTPA, MC-YdTPE, and MC-RdTPA could also response well in the cells treated with MC-LR, demonstrating these fluorescent probes' values. The recognition mechanism between probes and MC-LR were also deeply explored: (1) The polyphenylene ring structure of probes may have nested or hydrogen bond weak interaction with the ring structure of MC-LR. (2) The probes can generate a reaction to the hydrogen ions ionized by MC-LR. SIGNIFICANCE We proposed the novel ideas for designing MC-LR probes. This research can provide valuable experiences and important assistance in synthesizing MC-LR fluorescent probes. We expect that this work may bring new ideas to develop fluorescent probes for researching MC-LR in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
In this study, an amphiphilic polymer mPEG-HA(SA)-DNs was designed and synthesized to fabricate a multifunctional micellar system to enhance the therapeutic efficacy and reduce the toxic effect of paclitaxel (PTX). The polymer was prepared by introducing mPEG, stearic acid (SA) and 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (DNs) to the backbone of hyaluronic acid (HA). With above modifications, the fabricated micelles could encapsulate PTX in the core with high drug loading. The optimized PTX-loaded micelles had a mean size of 158.3 nm. Upon the effect of mPEG, the mPEG-HA(SA)-DNs micelles reduced the non-specific protein adsorption. In vitro drug release study revealed the excellent glutathione (GSH)-triggered PTX release behavior of the micelles. Moreover, GSH could trigger the detachment of DNs segment from mPEG-HA(SA)-DNs, and result in the release of SO2. In vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy studies demonstrated that the PTX-loaded mPEG-HA(SA)-DNs micelles exhibited outstanding tumor suppression effect. The micelles would be potential carriers for combination cancer therapy by SO2 and PTX.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is closely related to the physiopathology of numerous diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive sulfur species (RSS) are direct participants and important biomarkers of oxidative stress. A comprehensive understanding of their changes can help us evaluate disease pathogenesis and progression and facilitate early diagnosis and drug development. In recent years, fluorescent probes have been developed for real-time monitoring of ROS, RNS and RSS levels in vitro and in vivo. In this review, conventional design strategies of fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection are discussed from three aspects: fluorophores, linkers, and recognition groups. We introduce representative fluorescent probes for ROS, RNS, and RSS detection in cells, physiological/pathological processes (e.g., Inflammation, Drug Induced Organ Injury and Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury etc.), and specific diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, depression, diabetes and cancer, etc.). We then highlight the achievements, current challenges, and prospects for fluorescent probes in the pathophysiology of oxidative stress-related diseases.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 299:122853.

Abstract
Bisulfite (HSO3-) has been widely used as an antioxidant, enzyme inhibitor and antimicrobial agent in foodstuffs, pharmaceutical and beverages industries. It is also a signaling molecular in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Nevertheless, a high level of HSO3- can cause allergic reactions and asthmatic attacks. Accordingly, the monitoring of HSO3- levels possesses momentous significance from the perspectives of biological technology and food security supervision. Herein, a near-infrared fluorescent probe LJ is rationally constructed for sensing HSO3-. The fluorescence quenching recognition mechanism was realized by the addition reaction of electron-deficient CC bond in probe LJ and HSO3-. Probe LJ revealed multifarious preponderances such as longer wavelength emission (710 nm), low cytotoxicity, larger Stokes shift (215 nm), better selectivity, higher sensitivity (72 nM) and short response time (50 s). Encouragingly, probe LJ can detect HSO3- in living zebrafish and mice in vivo by fluorescence imaging techniques. In the meantime, probe LJ was also successfully employed to semi-quantitatively detect HSO3- in real foodstuff samples and water samples by the "naked-eye" colorimetry without the help of any special instruments. More importantly, quantitative detection of HSO3- in practical food samples was achieved through a smartphone application software. Consequently, probe LJ is expected to provide an effective and convenient way for the detection and monitoring of HSO3- in organisms and for food safety detection, which has tremendous application potential.

Abstract
Small-molecule fluorogenic probes are indispensable tools for performing research in biomedical fields and chemical biology. Although numerous cleavable fluorogenic probes have been developed to investigate various bioanalytes, few of them meet the baseline requirements for in vivo biosensing for disease diagnosis due to their insufficient specificity resulted from the remarkable esterase interferences. To address this critical issue, we developed a general approach called fragment-based fluorogenic probe discovery (FBFPD) to design esterase-insensitive probes for in vitro and in vivo applications. With the designed esterase-insensitive fluorogenic probe, we successfully achieved light-up in vivo imaging and quantitative analysis of cysteine. This strategy was further extended to design highly specific fluorogenic probes for other representative targets, sulfites, and chymotrypsin. The present study expands the bioanalytical toolboxes available and offers a promising platform to develop esterase-insensitive cleavable fluorogenic probes for in vivo biosensing and bioimaging for the early diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
Lesion areas are distinguished from normal tissues surrounding them by distinct physiological characteristics. These features serve as biological hallmarks with which targeted biomedical imaging of the lesion sites can be achieved. Although tremendous efforts have been devoted to providing smart imaging probes with the capability of visualizing the physiological hallmarks at the molecular level, the majority of them are merely able to derive anatomical information from the tissues of interest, and thus are not suitable for taking part in in vivo quantification of the biomarkers. Recent advances in chemical construction of advanced ratiometric nanoprobes (RNPs) have enabled a horizon for quantitatively monitoring the biological abnormalities in vivo. In contrast to the conventional probes whose dependency of output on single-signal profiles restricts them from taking part in quantitative practices, RNPs are designed to provide information in two channels, affording a self-calibration opportunity to exclude the analyte-independent factors from the outputs and address the issue. Most of the conventional RNPs have encountered several challenges regarding the reliability and sufficiency of the obtained data for high-performance imaging. In this Review, we have summarized the recent progresses in developing highly advanced RNPs with the capabilities of deriving maximized information from the lesion areas of interest as well as adapting themselves to the complex biological systems in order to minimize microenvironmental-induced falsified signals. To provide a better outlook on the current advanced RNPs, nanoprobes based on optical, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging modalities for visualizing a wide range of analytes such as pH, reactive species, and different derivations of amino acids have been included. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of the RNPs, the major constituents of the nanosystems and the analyte recognition mechanisms have been introduced. Moreover, the alterations in the values of the ratiometric signal in response to the analyte of interest as well as the time at which the highest value is achieved, have been included for most of RNPs discussed in this Review. Finally, the challenges as well as future perspectives in the field are discussed.

Abstract
Biomarkers are essential in biology, physiology, and pharmacology; thus, their detection is of extensive importance. Fluorescent probes provide effective tools for detecting biomarkers exactly. Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), one of the significant photophysical processes that possesses specific photoisomerization between Keto and Enol forms, can effectively avoid annoying interference from the background with a large Stokes shift. Hence, ESIPT is an excellent choice for biomarker monitoring. Based on the ESIPT process, abundant probes were designed and synthesized using three major design methods. In this review, we conclude probes for 14 kinds of biomarkers based on ESIPT explored in the past five years, summarize these general design methods, and highlight their application for biomarker detection in vitro or in vivo.

Abstract
As one of the gaseous signaling molecules, aberrant levels of SO2 are usually associated with many diseases. it is of great significance to develop sensitive methods for detection SO2 on real. In this paper, a D-π-A near-infrared aggregation-induced fluorescent probe (DPA-CN) was built using diphenylamino-4-benzaldehyde and malononitrile for sensing SO2. The DPA-CN exhibit AIE characterization that can quickly recognize SO2 via the Michael addition mechanism. The DPA-CN displayed emission blue drift from 650 nm to 560 nm after adding SO2, thereby realizing rapid and sensitive colorimetric detection of SO2. The mechanism for recognition of SO2 was verified via magnetic resonance imaging (1H NMR), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The DPA-CN realized rapid and sensitive recognition of SO2 with high specificity in 10 s within the concentration range of 0-100 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 0.31 μM. Owing to its high sensitivity and low toxicity, the DPA-CN can be applied in monitoring of SO2 in living cells and food analysis. Furthermore, the DPA-CN was used to prepare a visible and ultrafast semiquantitative paper-based SO2 sensor with low cost and easy operation.

Abstract
The mortality rate of pneumonia increases significantly with the prolongation of illness. In the pursuit of a tool to accurately diagnose pneumonia in its early stages, we designed and synthesized a two-photon near-infrared fluorescent probe (DCQN) to identify increased concentrations of the inflammation marker SO2. The probe was found to specifically react with SO2 by undergoing a 1,4-addition reaction to generate near-infrared fluorescence with good sensitivity (6 s), a large Stokes shift (110 nm) and low detection limit (1.49 nM). DCQN has near-infrared emission as well as good two-photon performance, which can image exogenous and endogenous SO2 in cells and avoid interference from background fluorescence from cells. Furthermore, this study achieved accurate imaging of a pneumonia lesion site in deep tissues to provide a tool for the fluorescence diagnostic imaging of pneumonia in situ.

Abstract
Significance: Previously, sulfur dioxide (SO2) was recognized as an air pollutant. However, it is found to be endogenously produced in mammalian tissues. As a new gasotransmitter, SO2 is involved in regulating the structure and function of blood vessels, heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, etc.Recent Advances: Increasing evidence showed that endogenous SO2 regulates cardiovascular physiological processes, such as blood pressure control, vasodilation, maintenance of the normal vascular structure, and cardiac negative inotropy. Under pathological conditions including hypertension, atherosclerosis, vascular calcification, aging endothelial dysfunction, myocardial injury, myocardial hypertrophy, diabetic myocardial fibrosis, sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, acute lung injury, colitis, epilepsy-related brain injury, depression and anxiety, and addictive drug reward memory consolidation, endogenous SO2 protects against the pathological changes via different molecular mechanisms and the disturbed SO2/aspartate aminotransferase pathway is likely involved in the mechanisms for the earlier mentioned pathologic processes. Critical Issues: A comprehensive understanding of the biological effects of endogenous SO2 is extremely important for the development of novel SO2 therapy. In this review, we summarized the biological effects, mechanism of action, SO2 detection methods, and its related prodrugs. Future Directions: Further studies should be conducted to understand the effects of endogenous SO2 in various physiological and pathophysiological processes and clarify its underlying mechanisms. More efficient and accurate SO2 detection methods, as well as specific and effective SO2-releasing systems should be designed for the treatment and prevention of clinical related diseases. The translation from SO2 basic medical research to its clinical application is also worthy of further study. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 36, 256-274.

Abstract
Aiming to develop the facile organic fluorophore possessing excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE), we designed and synthesized two isomers with different linkage site between hydroxyl of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) and a benzothiazole substituent (para position refers to p-BHBT and ortho position refers to o-BHBT). Fluorescence emission properties of p-BHBT and o-BHBT in THF/water mixtures with different water volume fractions indicated an opposite luminescence in aggregates, in which p-BHBT showed an ESIPT-dependent AIE properties while o-BHBT displayed ESIPT effect and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) qualities. A possible mechanism for molecular actions to illustrate the aggregating luminescence alteration of these two isomers had been proposed and verified by theoretical and experimental studies. More importantly, Probe-1, generated from dual ESIPT-AIE fluorophore p-BHBT, was successfully used as a ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for highly selective (above 15-fold over other ROS) and sensitive (69-fold fluorescence enhancement with 0.22 μM of detection limit) detection of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution and living cells, respectively.

Abstract
Four hemicyanine probes for selectively detecting sulfites (HSO3−/SO32−) have been constructed by the condensation reaction of 7-substituted (CN, Br, H and OH) phenothiazine aldehyde with 1-ethyl-2,3,3-trimethylindolium iodide. All four probes show a fast and sensitive response to HSO3−/SO32−via a Michael addition, with a detection limit lower than 40 nM based on monitoring their UV/vis absorption changes. Although all four probes display an increase in fluorescence when responding to HSO3−/SO32−, the increment is larger for the probe with an electron-withdrawing group than the probe with an electron-donating group, except for Br. Thus, among four probes the 7-cyano probe (PI-CN) possesses the largest fluorescent response to HSO3−/SO32−, and the lowest detection limit (7.5 nM). More expediently and easily, a film and a test paper with PI-CN have been prepared to detect HSO3−/SO32− in a sample aqueous solution selectively. Finally, the detection of HSO3−/SO32− by PI-CN in biological environments has been demonstrated by cell imaging. Four 7-substituted phenothiazine hemicyanines display a substituent effect on the fluorescence response toward sulfites. The CN-substituted probe exhibits the best sensing behavior.![]()

Abstract
Molecules that exhibit solid-state luminescence enhancement, i.e. the rare property to be more strongly emissive in the solid state than in solution, find an increasing number of applications in the fields of optoelectronic and nanophotonic devices, sensors, security papers, imaging, and theranostics. Benzazole (BZ) heterocycles are of particular value in this context. The simple enlargement of their π-electron system using a -C=C-Ar or -N=C-Ar moiety is enough for intrinsic solid-state luminescence enhancement (SLE) properties to appear. Their association with a variety of polyaromatic motifs leads to SLE-active molecules that frequently display attractive electroluminescent properties and are sensitive to mechanical stimuli. The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process that takes place in some hydroxy derivatives reinforces the SLE effect and enables the development of new sensors based on a protection/deprotection strategy. BZ may also be incorporated into frameworks that are prototypical aggregation-induced enhancement (AIE) luminogens, such as the popular tetraphenylethene (TPE), leading to materials with excellent optical and electroluminescent performance. This review encompasses the various ways to use BZ units in SLE systems. It underlines the significant progresses recently made in the understanding of the photophysical mechanisms involved. A brief overview of the synthesis shows that BZ units are robust building blocks, easily incorporated into a variety of structures. Generally speaking, we try to show how these small heterocycles may offer advantages for the design of increasingly efficient luminescent materials.

Abstract
In this paper, we specifically designed and synthesized an excellent colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent sensor DPA-CI for rapid and convenient detection of the highly toxic phosgene. DPA-CI was developed by incorporated a diphenylamine (DPA) and a 2-imine-3-benzo[d]imidazole as the enhanced push-pull electronic structure into the coumarin fluorophore matrix. The sensor DPA-CI towards phosgene sensing exhibited both visible colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent color change in solution and in gaseous conditions with TICT and AIE mechanism respectively, which can be easily distinguished by using the naked eye. Also, the sensor DPA-CI showed splendid sensing performance such as excellent selectivity, rapid response (less than 8 s in THF and 2 min in gaseous condition), and fair sensitivity (limit of detection less than 0.11 ppm in gaseous condition and 0.27 μM in solution). The design strategy based on enhanced push-pull electronic structure with AIE and TICT properties will be helpful to construct a solid optical sensor with excellent potential application prospects for portable and visual sensing of gaseous phosgene through distinct color and ratiometric fluorescence change by the naked eyes.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide derivatives are intimately involved in some physiological processes in organisms, and high levels of these substances can cause many diseases. Herein, we rationally prepared a mitochondrion-targeting, in situ-activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DCQN) by coupling 2-(3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile with 3-quinolinium carboxaldehyde. DCQN displayed a NIR fluorescence turn-on signal to indicate the presence of HSO3-, along with a considerable hyperchromic shift from light yellow to purple via a 1,4-nucleophilic addition reaction. We were able to use DCQN to instantaneously and quantitatively determine the concentration of HSO3- with high specificity, a low detection limit (24 nM), a large Stokes shift (∼110 nm), and a high contrast ratio. Moreover, DCQN displayed good mitochondrion-targeting abilities and was in situ-activated by HSO3- to produce NIR fluorescence for imaging HSO3- in the mitochondria of live breast cancer cells. Furthermore, DCQN was used to monitor HSO3- in zebrafish with a high contrast ratio.

Abstract
A unique fluorescent probe (ZACA) for the monitoring of SO2 derivatives was developed from coumarin and benzoindoles based on FRET and ICT. ZACA exhibited an active emission signal, large Stokes shift, wide emission window distance, and high photostability. It also possessed many advantages in the ratiometric detection of HSO3-/SO32- including low detection limit and high selectivity and sensitivity. Importantly, ZACA was successfully applied in the ratiometric detection of endogenous HSO3-/SO32- in living cells with excellent cellular imaging capability (1 μM) and mitochondria-targeting ability (co-localization coefficient: 0.91).

Abstract
The photophysical properties and excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) of salicylideneaniline (1a) and its derivatives (1b-1e) with different substituents have been investigated using the DFT and TD-DFT methods. The calculated results indicate that the introduction of electron-withdrawing group CN weakens the intramolecular hydrogen bond (H···N). However, the introduction of electron-donating group N(CH3)2 strengthens it. When the CN and N(CH3)2 groups are introduced simultaneously, the intramolecular hydrogen bond (H···N) is weakened. In addition, swapping the CN and N(CH3)2 group positions can enhance the intramolecular hydrogen bond (H···N). Compared to 1a, the absorption and emission spectra of compounds 1b-1e are red-shifted. Frontier molecular orbital analyses prove that the more intense intramolecular charge transfer characters caused by CN and N(CH3)2 substituents is responsible for the red shift of spectra. Potential energy curves indicate that ESIPT in salicylideneaniline (1a) and the CN substituted derivative (1b) is a non-barrier process, while in the N(CH3)2 substituted derivative (1c) and the CN and N(CH3)2 co-substituted derivative (1d), ESIPT needs to overcome the energy barriers of 2.32 kcal/mol and 3.38 kcal/mol, respectively. Exchanging the positions of CN and N(CH3)2 groups (1e) makes the ESIPT into a barrier-free process. Therefore, the substitution and position of CN and N(CH3)2 groups can affect the ESIPT process and induce different photophysical properties.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) maintains a certain steady state balance in the body, high concentration SO2 will be harmful to human health. Seeking a suitable detection method to monitor sulfur dioxide in real time becomes an urgent requirement owing to the transient nature of sulfur dioxide in organisms. Here, a novel NIR ratiometric fluorescent probe for detection of SO2 was developed based on a conjugation of coumarin and indol salt with excellent water solubility. The probe Mito-CI displayed highly sensitive (69 nM), fast response time (30 s), large Stokes shift (174 nm) and the NIR fluorescence emission wavelength (655 nm). In the reversibility process of the SO3--probe Mito-CI system induced by HCHO in vitro was also detected. Besides, cell imaging showed that Mito-CI possesses mitochondria-targeted ability. Particularly, Mito-CI was proved to reversibly detect SO2/HCHO in living cells.

Abstract
A new mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe RBC, constructed using a coumarin moiety which was selected as the donor and a benzothiazole derivative as the acceptor, for SO2 derivatives (HSO3-/SO32-) was presented. The probe designed on a new FRET platform showed high selectivity and a low detection limit. Importantly, the probe could respond to HSO3-/SO32- within 35 s. Furthermore, the probe could target mitochondria and was successfully used for fluorescence imaging of endogenous bisulfite in HepG2 with low cytotoxicity, which significantly assisted in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) had been recognized as an environmental pollutant produced from industrial processes. SO2 is water soluble and forms hydrated SO2 (SO2·H2O), bisulfite ion (HSO3-), and sulfite ion (SO32-) upon dissolution in water. SO2 could be also produced endogenously from sulfur-containing amino acids l-cysteine in mammals. Endogenous SO2 can maintain the balance of biological sulfur and redox equilibrium in vivo, regulate blood insulin levels and reduce blood pressure. Excess intake of exogenous SO2 can result in respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. As a result, fluorescent probes to detect HSO3-/SO32- have attracted great attention in recent years. Herein, a general overview was provided with the aim to highlight the typical examples of the HSO3-/SO32- fluorescent probes reported since 2010, especially those in the past five years. We have classified HSO3-/SO32- fluorescent probes through different chemical reaction mechanisms and wish this review will give some help to the researchers in this field.

Abstract
Developing specific and sensitive method for endogenous peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in living systems is valuable to understand its various pathological events. In this work, a simple and novel fluorescent probe (HPP) based on aggregation induced emission (AIE) as well as excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) processes for endogenous ONOO- detection was constructed containing a diphenylphosphinate as the reactive site and a salicylaldehyde azine as the fluorophore. The probe showed specific fluorescence turn-on response toward ONOO- owing to the diphenylphosphinate group of HPP reacted with ONOO-, releasing the salicylaldehyde azine with both AIE and ESIPT characteristics. In addition, the probe exhibited a large Stokes shift, an excellent light-up ratio, high selectivity and excellent sensitivity with a low detection limit of 8 × 10-8 M for endogenous ONOO-. Moreover, the probe could be applied to bioimaging of endogenous ONOO- in live cell, which demonstrated the probe can be used as effective tool for investigation of ONOO- in biological systems.

Abstract
Natural sanguinarine (SG) was first used as a fluorescent probe to develop a novel ratiometric sensor for selective HSO3- detection. The nucleophilic addition reaction of HSO3- occurs at the C=N+ group of SG, and subsequent breakage of the conjugated π cycle leads to a decrease in the SG iminium fluorescence that is accompanied by an increase in the alkanolamine fluorescence. Therefore, a ratiometric fluorescence method with a large wavelength shift can be established for HSO3- detection. Furthermore, cucurbit[8]uril was used as an efficient host to encapsulate SG for an improved selectivity for HSO3- detection over H2S. Our method benefits include little interference from other common anions and cations for HSO3- detection, suggesting a promising application in real sample analysis. Besides sensor development, the interaction of the natural SG with HSO3- was first demonstrated in this work to further get an insight into SG's pharmacology.

Abstract
Herein, we designed and synthesized a luminophor, Rh-F, which is an intergrant of rhodol and 2-hydroxy benzothiazole by introducing a benzothiazole unit onto the ortho-position of the phenolic hydroxy of rhodol. Rh-F exhibited excellent fluorescence properties such as a large Stokes shift (>180 nm) and the synergistic effect of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) feature. The AIE/ESIPT mechanism was thoroughly explored using X-ray single-crystal structures and photophysical determinations. Furthermore, Rh-F showed a sensitive fluorescence response to Fe2+ with low detection limits of 115.2 nM and high selectivity. Studies of its sensing mechanism indicated that the Fe2+-induced blue-green fluorescence-quenched at 525 nm originates from an irreversible Fe2+ chelate with the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group and the N atom of the benzothiazole moiety. This blocked the ESIPT process of Rh-F which resulted in the quenching of the fluorescence sensor for Rh-F.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH) play many crucial physiological roles in organisms. Their abnormal levels can cause and indicate various diseases. In the present study, a small-molecule fluorescent probe 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)phenyl acrylate (IPPA) was designed, synthesized and characterized by NMR, FT-IR and HRMS. IPPA can selectively detect Cys over other analytes because of an approximately 76 times enhancement in fluorescence intensity. The limit of detection of IPPA for Cys was 0.33 μM. The pseudo-first-order rate constant of the reaction between IPPA and Cys was approximately 10 times that of the reaction between IPPA and Hcy (KCys 3.18 × 10-3 S-1vs KHcy 4.92 × 10-4 S-1), indicating that Cys can be distinguished from Hcy. In addition, IPPA exhibits strong anti-interference ability, small molecular weight, high efficiency, low toxicity and good cell permeability. It was successfully used in imaging HepG2 cells and zebrafish. The fluorescence response of IPPA for calf serum are powerful proofs for practical application. Therefore, IPPA has high potential for bioassay applications.

We report a novel fluorescent probe HBN-TCF for the detection of SO2 derivatives. This probe exhibited near-infrared fluorescence emission with an excitation wavelength of 620 nm. After reacting with SO32-, the emission channel at 664 nm decreased, while the new strong emission channel at 482 nm increased (λex = 400 nm), with a large emission distance (Δλ = 182 nm) observed. This probe exhibited the rapid and selective detection of SO2 derivatives compared with other sulfur-containing species and featured a low detection limit (82 nM). This colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe showed high selectivity and sensitivity for detecting SO2 derivatives. The probe was also successfully exploited for the fluorescence imaging of intracellular and exogenous SO2 derivatives in BEL-7402 cells.

Abstract
Herein, a novel on-off-on fluorescent chemosensor for copper (II) ion (Cu2+), iron (III) ion (Fe3+) and cysteine is developed simply by the nano-precipitation method. The prepared organic dots with AIEgens (AIE dots) are advantageous over other metal ions in detecting Cu2+, Fe3+ with high selectivity and sensitivity by forming agglomerations (on-off). The agglomerations formed by AIE dots and Cu2+ redistributed and the fluorescence was obviously recovered in the presence of cysteine (off-on). This sensor has a wide linear range for Cu2+, Fe3+ and cysteine. The fluorescent detection limits of AIE dots are calculated to be 107 nM for Cu2+, 120 nM for Fe3+ and 78 nM for cysteine, respectively. These results indicate that the AIE dots can be used as a potential probe for Cu2+, Fe3+ and cysteine detection.
