Abstract
Dithionite remained in the foodstuff may pose a great threat to the health of consumers. Three xanthylium-based probes were synthesized and their responses to dithionite were explored. Probe SH-1 could respond to dithionite selectively in PBS buffer (15% DMSO, 10 mM, pH = 7.4). Upon the addition of dithionite, the fluorescent emission of SH-1 at 684 nm dropped quickly (within 10 s) and the fluorescence decline was proportional to the concentration of dithionite (0-7.0 μM). The limit of detection was determined to be 0.139 μM. Then, the sensing mechanism was tentatively presented and the structure of resulted adduct (SH-1-SO3-) which was the reaction product of SH-1 and dithionite via a Micheal addition reaction followed by an oxidation reaction was verified. Moreover, white granulated sugar was subjected to the standard spike experiments and the results demonstrated a great potential of SH-1 for the quantitative monitoring of dithionite in foodstuffs.

Abstract
Accurate detection of labile analytes through activity based fluorogenic sensing is meaningful but remains a challenge because of nonrapid reaction kinetic. Herein, we present a signaling reporter engineering strategy to accelerate azoreduction reaction by positively charged fluorophore promoted unstable anion recognition for rapidly sensing sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4), a kind of widespread used but harmful inorganic reducing agent. Its quick decomposition often impedes application reliability of traditional fluorogenic probes in real samples because of their slow responses. In this work, four azo-based probes with different charged fluorophores (positive, zwitterionic, neutral, and negative) were synthesized and compared. Among of them, with sequestration effect of positively charged anthocyanin fluorophore for dithionite anion via electrostatic attraction, the cationic probe Azo-Pos displayed ultrafast fluorogenic response (∼2 s) with the fastest response kinetic (kpos' = 0.373 s-1) that is better than other charged ones (kzwi' = 0.031 s-1, kneu' = 0.013 s-1, kneg' = 0.003 s-1). Azo-Pos was demonstrated to be capable to directly detect labile Na2S2O4 in food samples and visualize the presence of Na2S2O4 in living systems in a timely fashion. This new probe has potential as a robust tool to fluorescently monitor excessive food additives and biological invasion of harmful Na2S2O4. Moreover, our proposed accelerating strategy would be versatile to develop more activity-based sensing probes for quickly detecting other unstable analytes of interest.

Abstract
Disposable medical masks are widely used to prevent respiratory infections due to their ability to block virus particles from entering the human body. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted the importance of medical masks, leading to their widespread use around the world. However, a large number of disposable medical masks have been discarded, some carrying viruses, which have posed a grave threat to the environment and people's health, as well as wasting resources. In this study, a simple hydrothermal method was used for the disinfection of waste medical masks under high-temperature conditions as well as for their transformation into high-value-added carbon dots (CDs, a new type of carbon nanomaterial) with blue-emissive fluorescence, without high energy consumption or environmental pollution. Moreover, the mask-derived CDs (m-CDs) could not only be used as fluorescent probes for sensing sodium hydrosulfite (Na2S2O4), which is widely used in the food and textile industries but is seriously harmful to human health, but also be used for detecting Fe3+ which is harmful to the environment and human health due to its wide use in industries.

Abstract
Developing a reliable fluorescence probe is crucial for accurately monitoring sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4, SDT) in biosystems, but the current reported azo-based ones suffers from short excitation/emission wavelengths and relative slow response speed. To address this issue, we herein present a novel near-infrared emissive fluorescence probe for SDT, namely DCM-MQ, consisting of a dicyanomethylene-benzopyran fluorogenic reporter and a 1-methylquinolinium as recognition moiety. On the basis of the specific reduction mechanism, DCM-MQ exhibited a rapid colorimetric and fluorescent recognition for SDT (less than 3 s) with large Stokes shift (112 nm) and high sensitivity (detection limit was 19 nM). The fluorescence imaging results demonstrate that DCM-MQ is competent for monitoring SDT in living systems.

Abstract
We report the development of an azoreductase-responsive prodrug AP-N═N-Cy in which the precursor compound AP, a readily available podophyllotoxin derivative, is linked with a NIR fluorophore (Cy) via a multifunctional azobenzene group. This type of azo-based prodrug can serve as not only an azoreductase-responsive NIR probe to real-time tracking of the drug delivery process but also a delivery platform for an anticancer compound (AdP). We have shown that cleavage of the multifunctional azobenzene group in AP-N═N-Cy only occurred in the presence of azoreductase, which specifically secretes in the colon, resulting in direct release of AdP through an in situ modification of a phenylamino group on the precursor AP. Moreover, introduction of the azobenzene group endows the prodrug with an unique fluorescence "off-on" property and served as a switch to "turn on" the fluorescence of Cy as consequence of a self-elimination reaction with breakage of an azo bond. Such a prodrug can be administered orally and exhibit high stability and low toxicity before arriving at the colon. In view of the synchronism of drug release and the fluorescence turn-on process, the fluorescence imaging method was utilized to precisely trace drug delivery in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Distinguishingly, the biodistribution of AdP and Cy in various tissues was further precisely mapped at the molecular level using imaging mass spectrometry. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the in vivo real-time precise tracking of the colon-specific drug release and biodistribution was reported via a multimodal imaging method.
