Abstract
There is a need to develop simple and effective strategies for the rapid detection of heavy metal ions (HMIs) in order to protect the environment and human health. A simple fluorescent sensor array based on a single cucurbit[5]uril-truxene probe was proposed to simultaneously identify five HMIs (Pb2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Fe2+ and Fe3+). This probe was synthesized using monohydroxyl cucurbit[5]uril and monobromohexyl truxene by a substitution reaction between them. It could be observed that the fluorescence response of this synthesized probe to HMIs was closely related to the pH of the aqueous solution, exhibiting different fluorescence intensities at pH 3.0, 7.0, and 9.0. Based on this phenomenon, a fluorescent sensor array based on a single cucurbit[5]uril-truxene probe was then constructed by simply altering the pH in the sensor element. These unique fluorescence responses were analyzed using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to identify metal ions. A concentration limit classification of 0.1 μM was applied to the above five HMIs. Moreover, the quantification of metal ions was implemented even at low concentrations of 48-121 nM. This array showed good results in the recognition of metal ions in real water samples (lake water and tap water samples), which shows its broad application prospects in many fields, including monitoring of the environmental water quality and so on.

Abstract
Zinc homeostasis, which allows optimal zinc utilization in diverse life processes, is responsible for the general well-being of human beings. This paper describes developing and validating an easily accessible indole-containing zinc-specific probe in the cellular milieu. The probe was synthesized from readily available starting materials and was subjected to steady-state fluorescence studies. It showed selective sensing behavior towards Zn2+ with reversible binding. The suppression of PET (Photoinduced Electron Transfer) and ESIPT (Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer) elicited selectivity, and the detection limit was 0.63 μM (LOQ 6.8 μM). The zinc sensing capability of the probe was also screened in the presence of low molecular weight ligands [LMWLs] and showed interference only with GSH and ATP. It is non-toxic and can detect zinc in different cell lines under various stress conditions such as inflammation, hyperglycemia, and apoptosis. The probe could stain the early and late stages of apoptosis in PAN-2 cells by monitoring the zinc release. Most experiments were conducted without external zinc supplementation, showing its innate ability to detect zinc.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are extremely important for various biological functions. Lysosome plays key roles in cellular metabolism and has been known as the stomach of cells. The abnormalities and malfunctioning of lysosomal function are associated with many diseases. Accordingly, the quantitative monitoring and real-time imaging of ROS in lysosomes are of great interest. In recent years, with the advancement of fluorescence imaging, fluorescent ROS probes have received considerable interest in the biomedical field. Thus far, considerable efforts have been undertaken to create synthetic fluorescent probes for sensing ROS in lysosomes; however, specific review articles on this topic are still lacking. This review provides a general introduction to fluorescence imaging technology, the sensing mechanisms of fluorescent probes, lysosomes, and design strategies for lysosome-targetable fluorescent ROS probes. In addition, the latest advancements in organic small-molecule fluorescent probes for ROS detection within lysosomes are discussed. Finally, the main challenges and future perspectives for developing effective lysosome-targetable fluorescent ROS probes for biomedical applications are presented.

Abstract
Cancer is threatening the survival of human beings all over the world. Phototherapy (including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT)) and bioimaging are important tools for imaging-mediated cancer theranostics. Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) dyes have received more attention due to their high thermal and photochemical stability, efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and thermal effects, easy functionalization, and tunable photophysical properties. In this review, we outline the latest achievements of DPP derivatives in cancer therapy and imaging over the past three years. DPP-based conjugated polymers and small molecules for detection, bioimaging, PTT, photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided PTT, and PDT/PTT combination therapy are summarized. Their design principles and chemical structures are highlighted. The outlook, challenges, and future opportunities for the development of DPP derivatives are also presented, which will give a future perspective for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Novel highly sensitive fluorescent probes for zinc cations based on the diketopyrrolopyrrole scaffold were designed and synthesized. Large bathochromic shifts (≈80 nm) of fluorescence are observed when the Zn2+-recognition unit (di-(2-picolyl)amine) is bridged with the fluorophore possessing an additional pyridine unit able to participate in the coordination process. This effect originates from the dipolar architecture and the increasing electron-withdrawing properties of the diketopyrrolopyrrole core upon addition of the cation. The new, greenish-yellow emitting probes, which operate via modulation of intramolecular charge transfer, are very sensitive to the presence of Zn2+. Introduction of a morpholine unit in the diketopyrrolopyrrole structure induces a selective six-fold increase of the emission intensity upon zinc coordination. Importantly, the presence of other divalent biologically relevant metal cations has negligible effects and typically even at a 100-fold higher concentration of Mg2+/Zn2+, the effect is comparable. Computational studies rationalize the strong bathochromic shift upon Zn2+-complexation. Decorating the probes with the triphenylphosphonium cation and morpholine unit enables selective localization in the mitochondria and the lysosome of cardiac H9C2 cells, respectively.

Abstract
As pH-sensitive and hypoxia-responsive probes, three hemicyanine derivatives based on vanillin and the indole ring (Val-Hcys) were synthesized. The fluorescence of the probes can be activated at acidic pH using the amide functionalized sidechains. Furthermore, when Val-Hcys were incubated with hypoxic cells for 5 min, the fluorescent signals significantly increased when compared to normoxia cells (4-fold enhancement, maximum at 180 min). In addition, Val-Hcys tend to accumulate in lysosomes and mitochondria, two important organelles involved in cell mitophagy. Surprisingly, Val-Hcys improved cell viability in hypoxic conditions. As a result, this study demonstrates the utility of Val-Hcys as pH-responsive probes for detecting hypoxic areas.

Abstract
Mitochondrial functions are heavily influenced by acid-base homeostasis. Hence, elucidation of the mitochondrial pH is essential in living cells, and its alterations during pathologies is an interesting question to be addressed. Small molecular fluorescent probes are progressively applied to quantify the mitochondrial pH by fluorescence imaging. Herein, we designed a unique small molecular fluorescent probe, PM-Mor-OH, based on the lipophilic morpholine ligand-conjugated pyridinium derivative of "IndiFluors". The morpholine-conjugated fluorescent probe usually localized the lysosome. However, herein, we observed unusual phenomena of morpholine-tagged PM-Mor-OH that localized mitochondria explicitly. The morpholine ligand also plays a pivotal role in tuning optical properties via photoinduced electron transfer (PET) during internal pH alteration (ΔpHi). In the mitophagy process, lysosomes engulf damaged mitochondria, leading to ΔpHi, which can be monitored using our probe. It exhibited "ratiometric" emission at single wavelength excitation (ex. 488) and is suitable for monitoring and quantifying the ΔpHi using confocal microscope high-resolution image analysis during mitophagy. The bathochromic emission shifts due to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in basic pH were well explained by the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT/PCM). Similarly, the change in the emission ratio (green/red) with pH variations was also validated by the PET process. In addition, PM-Mor-OH can quantify the pH change during oxidative stress induced by rapamycin, mutant A53T α-synuclein-mediated protein misfolding stress in mitochondria, and during starvation. Rapamycin-induced mitophagy was further elucidated by the translocation of mCherry Parkin to damaged mitochondria, which well correlates with our probe. Thus, PM-Mito-OH is a valuable probe for visualizing mitophagy and can act as a suitable tool for the diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases.

Abstract
Specimen differences, tissue-dependent background fluorescence and scattering, and deviated specimen position and sensor concentration make optical imaging for labile copper fluctuation in animals questionable, and a signal comparison between specimens is infeasible. We proposed ratiometric optical imaging as an alternative to overcome these disadvantages, and a near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric sensor, BDPS1, was devised therefore by conjugating boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) with 4-aminostyrene and modifying the 4-amino group as a Cu+ chelator. BDPS1 possessed an excitation ratiometric copper-sensing ability to show the ratio of NIR emission (710 nm) upon excitation at 600 nm to that at 660 nm, Fex600/Fex660, increasing from 2.8 to 10.7. This sensor displayed still the opposite copper response of its internal charge transfer (ICT; 670 nm) and local (581 nm) emission bands. Ratiometric imaging with this sensor disclosed a higher labile copper region near the nucleus apparatus, and HEK-293T cells were more sensitive to copper incubation than MCF-7 cells. Dual excitation ratiometric imaging with this sensor realized tracking of labile copper fluctuation in mice, and the whole-body imaging found that tail intravenous injection of CUTX-101, a therapeutical agent for Menkes disease, led to a distinct labile copper increase in the upper belly. The ex vivo imaging of the resected viscera of mice revealed that CUTX-101 injection enhanced the labile copper level in the liver, intestine, lung, and gall bladder in sequence, yet the kidney, heart, and spleen showed almost no response. This study indicated that modifying BODIPY as an extended ICT fluorophore, with its electron-donating group being derived as a metal chelator, is an effective design rationale of NIR ratiometric sensors for copper tracking in vivo/ex vivo.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of single-molecule amphiphilic and multifunctional phototherapeutic agents are important to cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this work, we developed three amphiphilic diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives (TPADPP, DTPADPP, and TPADDPP) with different donor-acceptor structures and poly(ethylene glycol) side chains. The corresponding nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained via a self-assembly from three amphiphilic DPP derivatives and used as smart phototherapeutic agents for tumor diagnosis and treatment. The three amphiphilic DPP NPs exhibited near-infrared (NIR) emissions and good biocompatibility. Thus, they could be used as fluorescence (FL) imaging agents for guided therapy. DTPADPP NPs and TPADDPP NPs also displayed excellent photothermal performance and high accumulation in the tumor. Owing to these beneficial features, the DTPADPP NPs and TPADDPP NPs synthesized herein are suitable for NIR FL imaging and effective photothermal therapy against the tumor in vivo.

Abstract
In this work, we present the formation of H- and J-aggregates of amphiphilic centrosymmetric diketopyrrolopyrroles containing aliphatic or aromatic amino groups. The inherent amphiphilicity of these dyes predestines their assembly at interfaces to form ordered supramolecular structures. In this work, we employed the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique to generate, manipulate, and deposit such supramolecular structures. The aforementioned amines provide an additional means to control the formation of the supramolecular assemblies. In the resulting LB films, both H- and J-aggregates of the dyes can be realized, leading to very broad absorption spectra. In contrast to many reports on H- and J-aggregates, the interactions between the symmetric diketopyrrolopyrroles are controlled via interface assembly and π-stacking and not by dipolar interactions. We show that in the case of the aliphatic, but not for the aromatic amine functionalization, the usage of an acidic subphase enables the transition from H- to J-aggregate-dominated LB films via an increase in the surface pressure during deposition.

Abstract
A novel difluoroboron derivative (TPEBF) containing α-cyanostilbene and tetraphenylethylene units has been designed and synthesized. TPEBF emits strong fluorescence both in dilute solutions (ΦFL = 19.3% in THF) and in the solid state (ΦFL = 49.3%), which is significantly distinct from the case of the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) chromophores. The dual-state emission properties of the compound overcome the limitation of single-state luminescence and enable it to be used in both solid and solution states. TPEBF with strong emission in solution is utilized for sensing picric acid (PA) with high selectivity and sensitivity in THF (LOD = 497 nM) and aqueous media (LOD = 355 nM). The mechanism was described for the synergy of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and photoinduced energy transfer (PET) based on the UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra, 1H NMR and theoretical calculations results. On the other hand, the highly efficient emission in the solid state allows the compound to be cast on paper to switch external acid/base stimuli.

Abstract
Depression is closely related to overactivation of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors, and Zn2+ is a vital NMDA receptor modulator involved in the pathophysiological and physiological processes of depression. Therefore, quantitative and real-time detection of Zn2+ is very important for understanding the pathogenesis of depression. In this work, a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe ISO-DPA was designed and synthesized for Zn2+ detection with a large Stokes shift (185 nm), high quantum yield (up to 44%), high sensitivity (LOD = 0.106 μM) and good pH stability. The probe showed rapid response within 10 s, accompanied by a distinct fluorescence change from faint to bright pink with the fluorescence intensity increasing 4.5-fold. Moreover, the sensing mechanism of ISO-DPA towards Zn2+ was supported by MALDI-TOF-MS and Job's plot. The probe ISO-DPA could detect instantaneous variation of exogenous and endogenous Zn2+ in PC12 cells. The bioimaging results reveal the increase of the endogenous Zn2+ concentration in PC12 cells under the oxidative stress induced by glutamate and confirm that overactivation of NMDA receptors results in an increase of the Zn2+ level. All the results proved that ISO-DPA is an excellent probe for detecting Zn2+ in solution and living cells and could help us better understand Zn2+ associated pathogenesis of depression.

Abstract
Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) pigments are essential and have been intensively exploited as building-blocks for the synthesis of organic semiconducting polymers and small molecules; however, DPP derivatives as emissive materials for electroluminescent (EL) devices have rarely been explored. In this work, a series of new DPP derivatives grafted with carbazole dendrons in a non-conjugated fashion using an amide linkage was designed to improve the performance of DPP in EL devices. Three DPP derivatives (G0DPP, G1DPP and G2DPP) bearing di(p-chlorophenyl)-DPP (Pigment Red 254) as the core substituted with a hexyl chain, N-hexyl carbazole and N-hexyl-N'-9,3':6',N''-tercarbazole, respectively, were synthesized to afford improved hole-transporting properties without affecting the photophysical and electronic properties of the DPP core. The synthesized DPP derivatives displayed an intense yellow fluorescence emission peaked at 536 nm with an absolute photoluminescence quantum yield close to unity in solution. The hole-transporting capability of molecules was improved when carbazole dendrons were incorporated, which increased with an increase in the generation of substituent carbazole dendrons in the order of G0DPP < G1DPP < G2DPP. Significantly, the use of G2DPP, showing the highest hole mobility, in an EL device yielded a strong and stable yellow emission peaked at 556 nm (CIE x, y color coordinates of (0.45, 0.53)) with a brightness of 3060 cd m-2, maximum luminous efficiency of 9.24 cd A-1 and a maximum EQE of 3.11%.

Abstract
For the first time diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs) have been synthesized directly from nitriles possessing (aza)crown ethers leading to macrocycle-dye hybrids. Depending on the nature of the linkage between DPP and macrocyclic ring, various coordination effects are found. The strong interaction of the cations possessing Lewis acid character such as Li+ , Mg2+ and Zn2+ with 2-aminopyridin-4-yl-DPPs, leading to a bathochromic shift of both emission and absorption, as well as to strong enhancement of fluorescence was rationalized in terms of strong binding of these cations to the N=C-NR2 functionality. The same effect has been observed for protonation. Depending on the size and the structure of the macrocyclic ring the complexation of cations by aza-crown ethers plays an important but secondary role. The interaction of Na+ and K+ with 2-aminopyridin-4-yl-DPPs leads to moderate enhancement of fluorescence due to the aza-crown ethers binding. The very weak fluorescence of DPP bearing 2-dialkylamino-pyridine-4-yl substituents is due to the closely lying T2 state and the resulting intersystem crossing.

Abstract
Zn2+ plays important roles in metabolism and signaling regulation. Subcellular Zn2+ compartmentalization is essential for organelle functions and cell biology, but there is currently no method to determine Zn2+ signaling relationships among more than two different organelles with one probe. Here, we report simultaneous Zn2+ tracking in multiple organelles (Zn-STIMO), a method that uses structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and a single Zn2+ fluorescent probe, allowing super-resolution morphology-correlated organelle identification in living cells. To guarantee SIM imaging quality for organelle identification, we develop a new turn-on Zn2+ fluorescent probe, NapBu-BPEA, by regulating the lipophilicity of naphthalimide-derived Zn2+ probes to make it accumulate in multiple organelles except the nucleus. Zn-STIMO with this probe shows that CCCP-induced mitophagy in HeLa cells is associated with labile Zn2+ enhancement. Therefore, direct organelle identification supported by SIM imaging makes Zn-STIMO a reliable method to determine labile Zn2+ dynamics in various organelles with one probe. Finally, SIM imaging of pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids with NapBu-BPEA demonstrates the potential of super-resolution morphology-correlated organelle identification to track biospecies and events in specific organelles within organoids. Subcellular Zn2+ compartmentalisation is essential for cell biology. Here the authors make a turn-on fluorescent Zn2+ probe that localises to multiple organelles, and correlate its location using organelle morphology derived from structured illumination microscopy.

Abstract
Zn2+, as the second most abundant d-block metal in the human body, plays an important role in a wide range of biological processes, and the dysfunction of its homeostasis is related to many diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and prostate and breast cancers. Small molecule fluorescent probes, as effective tools for real-time imaging, have been widely used to study Zn2+ related processes. However, the failure to control their localisation in cells has limited their utility somewhat, as they are generally incapable of studying individual processes in a specific cellular location. This perspective presents an overview of the recent developments in specific organelle localised small molecule fluorescent Zn2+ probes and their application in biological milieu, which could help to extend our understanding of the mechanisms that cells use to respond to dysfunction of zinc homeostasis and its roles in disease initiation and development.

Abstract
Transition metals such as zinc, copper and iron play vital roles in maintaining physiological functions and homeostasis of living systems. Molecular imaging, including two-photon imaging (TPI), bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), could act as non-invasive toolkits for capturing dynamic events in living cells, tissues and whole animals. Herein, we review the recent progress in the development of molecular probes for essential transition metals and their biological applications. We emphasize the contributions of metallostasis to health and disease, and discuss the future research directions about how to harness the great potential of metal sensors.

Abstract
Monitoring labile Zn2+ homeostasis is of great importance for the study of physiological functions of Zn2+ in biological systems. Here we report a novel ratiometric fluorescent Zn2+ sensor, CPBT, which was constructed based on chelation-induced alteration of FRET efficiency. CPBT was readily cell membrane permeable and showed a slight preferential localization in the endoplasmic reticulum. With this sensor, 3D ratiometric Zn2+ imaging was first realized in the head of zebra fish larvae via Z-stack mode. CPBT could track labile Zn2+ in a large number of cells through ratiometric flow cytometric assay. More interestingly, both ratiometric fluorescence imaging and flow cytometric assay demonstrated that the labile Zn2+ level in MCF-7 cells (cisplatin-sensitive) decreased while that in SKOV3 cells (cisplatin-insensitive) increased after cisplatin treatment, indicating that Zn2+ may play an important role in cisplatin induced signaling pathways in these cancer cells. A Zn2+ sensor exhibiting 3D ratiometric imaging and flow cytometric ability was constructed based on the FRET mechanism, and cisplatin-induced endogenous labile Zn2+ fluctuations were monitored in real time.![]()

Abstract
A key current challenge in biological research is the elucidation of the that roles chemicals and chemical reactions play in cellular function and dysfunction. Of the available cellular imaging techniques, fluorescence imaging offers a balance between sensitivity and resolution, enabling the cost-effective and rapid visualisation of model biological systems. Importantly, the use of responsive fluorescent probes in conjunction with ever-advancing microscopy and flow cytometry techniques enables the visualisation, with high spatiotemporal resolution, of both specific chemical species and chemical reactions in living cells. Ideal responsive fluorescent probes are those that contain a fluorophore tethered to both a sensing unit, to ensure selectivity of response, and a targeting group, to control the sub-cellular localisation of the probe. To date, probes that are both targeted and selective are relatively rare and most localised probes are discovered serendipitously rather than by design. A challenge in this field is therefore the identification of suitable fluorophore scaffolds that can be readily attached to both sensing and targeting groups. Here we review current strategies for dual-functionalisation of fluorophores, highlighting key examples of targeted, responsive probes.

Abstract
An oxacalix[4]arene-Ce(iii) complex viz. L-Ce(III) has been introduced for the selective detection of As(v) and Cr(vi) oxyanions in aqueous medium. The binding mode of L-Ce(III) + AsO43-/CrO42- was completely investigated with fluorometric titration, time resolve fluorescent decay and FTIR analyses. Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) play an important role in the sensing of these oxyanions. The characteristic fluorescence of the L-Ce(III) complex has been quenched by AsO43- and CrO42- through cascading the ligating sites. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments with various scan rates suggest that the electrochemical processes on the electrodes were controlled by diffusion. Both the analytes exhibit a lower limit of detection (LOD) below their standard EPA permissible limits. Moreover, the probe successfully detects the oxyanions in environmental real samples with excellent recovery ranging from 97 to 101%.

Abstract
A new methodology for the double N-arylation of diketopyrrolopyrroles with aryl triflates has been developed. It is now possible to prepare diketopyrrolopyrroles bearing N-substituents derived from naphthalene, anthracene and coumarin in two steps from commercially available phenols. This represents the first time arenes lacking strong electron-withdrawing groups were inserted onto lactamic nitrogen atoms via arylation. The ability to incorporate heretofore unprecedented substituents translates to increased modulation of the resulting photophysical properties such as switching-on/off solvatofluorochromism. TD-DFT calculations have been performed to explore the nature of the relevant excited states. This new synthetic method made it possible to elucidate the influence of such substituents on the absorption and emission properties of tetraaryl substituted diketopyrrolopyrroles.

Abstract
A dual-function probe NAHH based on naphthalene was synthesized and characterized. Based on the combination effects derived from the inhabitation of photo-induced electron transfer (PET) and CN isomerization, probe NAHH achieved in the recognition of Zn2+ and Al3+ both through obvious fluorescence enhancement and color changes detected by naked eye, respectively. Probe NAHH showed high sensitivity with the limit of detection as low as 3.02 × 10-7 M for Zn2+ and 7.55 × 10-8 M for Al3+, indicated the capability of probe NAHH in trace detection for Zn2+ and Al3+. The binding ratio of NAHH with Zn2+ and Al3+ were all 1:1 determined by Job plot, and the corresponding association constant was calculated as 8.48 × 104 M-1 and 4.45 × 105 M-1, respectively. The mechanism was further confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR titration and ESI-MS analysis. Furthermore, probe NAHH was successfully applied in logic gate construction and the detection of Zn2+ and Al3+ in Songhua River and test stripe. Fluorescence imaging experiments confirmed that NAHH could be used to monitor Zn2+ in plant root.

Abstract
Zn2+ plays an important role in the normal function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and its deficiency can cause ER stress, which is related to a wide range of diseases. In order to provide tools to better understand the role of mobile Zn2+ in ER processes, the first custom designed ER-localised fluorescent Zn2+ probes have been developed through the introduction of a cyclohexyl sulfonylurea as an ER-targeting unit with different Zn2+ receptors. Experiments in vitro and in cellulo show that both probes have a good fluorescence switch on response to Zn2+, high selectivity over other cations, low toxicity, ER-specific targeting ability and are efficacious imaging agents for mobile Zn2+ in four different cell lines. Probe 9 has been used to detect mobile Zn2+ changes under ER stress induced by both tunicamycin or thapsigargin, which indicates that the new probes should allow a better understanding of the mechanisms cells use to respond to dysfunction of zinc homeostasis in the ER and its role in the initiation and progression of diseases to be developed.

Abstract
Zn2+ is involved in a number of biological processes and its wide-ranging roles at the subcellular level, especially in specific organelles, have not yet been fully established due to a lack of tools to image it effectively. We report a new and efficient modular double 'click' approach towards a range of sub-cellular localised probes for mobile zinc. Through this methodology, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and lysosome localised probes were successfully prepared which show good fluorescence responses to mobile Zn2+in vitro and in cellulo whilst a non-targeting probe was synthesized as a control. The methodology appears to have wide-utility for the generation of sub-cellular localised probes by incorporating specific organelle targeting vectors for mobile Zn2+ imaging.
