Abstract
Two new cationic meso-thiazolium-BODIPY-based water-soluble and red-shifted fluorescent probes were constructed for the first time. They can monitor cellular viscosity in dual organelles and show aggregation-induced emission (AIE), which is ascribed to the efficient restricted rotation of meso-thiazolium in viscous or hindered systems. Probe 3 with an N-benzyl group shows better AIE as compared to probe 2 with an N-methyl group.

Abstract
Cuproptosis is a novel copper-dependent form of programmed cell death, displaying important regulatory functions in many human diseases, including cancer. However, the relationship between the changes in mitochondrial viscosity, a key factor associated with cellular malfunction, and cuproptosis is still unclear. Herein, we prepared a phosphorescent iridium (Ir) complex probe for precisely monitoring the changes of mitochondrial viscosity during cuprotosis via phosphorescence lifetime imaging. The Ir complex probe possessed microsecond lifetimes (up to 1 μs), which could be easily distinguished from cellular autofluorescence to improve the imaging contrast and sensitivity. Benefiting from the long phosphorescence lifetime, excellent viscosity selectivity, and mitochondrial targeting abilities, the Ir complex probe could monitor the increase in the mitochondrial viscosity during cuproptosis (from 46.8 to 68.9 cP) in a quantitative manner. Moreover, through in situ fluorescence imaging, the Ir complex probe successfully monitored the increase in viscosity in zebrafish treated with lipopolysaccharides or elescolomol-Cu2+, which were well-known cuproptosis inducers. We anticipate that this new Ir complex probe will be a useful tool for in-depth understanding of the biological effects of mitochondrial viscosity during cuproptosis.

Abstract
The research on fluorescent rotors for viscosity has attracted extensive interest to better comprehend the close relationships of microviscosity variations with related diseases. Although scientists have made great efforts, fluorescent probes for cellular viscosity with both aggregation-induced emissions (AIEs) and large Stokes shifts to improve sensing properties have rarely been reported. Herein, we first report four new meso-C═N-substituted BODIPY-based rotors with large Stokes shifts, investigate their viscosity/AIE characteristics, and perform cellular imaging of the viscosity in subcellular organelles. Interestingly, the meso-C═N-phenyl group-substituted probe 6 showed an obvious 594 nm fluorescence enhancement in glycerol and a moderate 650 nm red AIE emission in water. Further, on attaching CF3 to the phenyl group, a similar phenomenon was observed for 7 with red-shifted emissions, attributed to the introduction of a phenyl group, which plays a key role in the red AIE emissions and large Stokes shifts. Comparatively, for phenyl-group-free probes, both the meso-C═N-trifluoroethyl group and thiazole-substituted probes (8 and 9) exhibited good viscosity-responsive properties, while no AIE was observed due to the absence of phenyl groups. For cellular experiments, 6 and 9 showed good lysosomal and mitochondrial targeting properties, respectively, and were further successfully used for imaging viscosity through the preincubation of monensin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), indicating that C═N polar groups potentially work as rotatable moieties and organelle-targeting groups, and the targeting difference might be ascribed to increased charges of thiazole. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the structural relationships of four meso-C═N BODIPY-based rotors with respect to their viscosity/AIE characteristics, subcellular-targeting ability, and cellular imaging for viscosity, potentially serving as AIE fluorescent probes with large Stokes shifts for subcellular viscosity imaging.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most detrimental diseases affecting the human life because it can initiate several other afflictions such as liver damage, kidney malfunctioning, and cardiac inflammation. The primary method for diabetes diagnosis involves the analysis of blood samples to quantify the level of glucose, while secondary diagnostic methods involve the qualitative analysis of obesity, fatigue, etc. However, all these symptoms start showing up only when the patient has been suffering from diabetes for a certain period of time. In order to avoid such delay in diagnosis, the development of specific fluorescent probes has attracted considerable attention. Prominent biomarkers for diabetes include abundance of certain analytes in blood serum, e.g., glucose, methylglyoxal, albumin, and reactive oxygen species; high intracellular viscosity; alteration of enzyme functionality, etc. Among these, high viscosity can greatly affect the fluorescence properties of various chromophores owing to the environment sensitivity of fluorescence spectra. In this review article, we have illustrated the application of some prominent fluorophores such as coumarin, BODIPY, xanthene, and rhodamine in the development of viscosity-dependent fluorescent probes. Detailed mechanistic aspects determining the influence of viscosity on the fluorescent properties of the probes have also been elaborated. Fluorescence mechanisms that are directly affected by the high-viscosity heterogeneous microenvironment are based on intramolecular rotations like twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT), aggregation-induced emission (AIE), and through-bond energy transfer (TBET). In this regard, this review article will be highly useful for researchers working in the field of diabetes treatment and fluorescent probes. It also provides a platform for the planning of futuristic clinical translation of fluorescent probes for the early-stage diagnosis and therapy of diabetes.

Abstract
The microenvironment is indispensable for functionality of various biomacromolecules, subcellular compartments, living cells, and organisms. In particular, physical properties within the biological microenvironment could exert profound effects on both the cellular physiology and pathology, with parameters including the polarity, viscosity, pH, and other relevant factors. There is a significant demand to directly visualize and quantitatively measure the fluctuation in the cellular microenvironment with spatiotemporal resolution. To satisfy this need, analytical methods based on fluorescence probes offer great opportunities due to the facile, sensitive, and dynamic detection that these molecules could enable in varying biological settings from in vitro samples to live animal models. Herein, we focus on various types of small molecule fluorescent probes for the detection and measurement of physical parameters of the microenvironment, including pH, polarity, viscosity, mechanical force, temperature, and electron potential. For each parameter, we primarily describe the chemical mechanisms underlying how physical properties are correlated with changes of various fluorescent signals. This review provides both an overview and a perspective for the development of small molecule fluorescent probes to visualize the dynamic changes in the cellular environment, to expand the knowledge for biological process, and to enrich diagnostic tools for human diseases.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is a fatal, incurable, chronic neurodegenerative disease. Diagnosis in its early and even preclinical stages will be beneficial for its prevention and treatment. In the accepted pathological theory, abnormal accumulation of Aβ protein and abnormal mitochondrial function, including changes in mitochondrial viscosity, is closely related to Alzheimer's disease. To date, rare fluorescent probes have been reported that can simultaneously image Aβ plaques and mitochondrial viscosity. Therefore, the development of a dual-functional fluorescent probe for real-time fluorescence imaging of Aβ plaques and mitochondrial viscosity is crucial to discover a novel approach and strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and to understand the pathological process and crosstalk between different biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease. Herein, we rationally designed and synthesized a series of fluorescent probes QM-SF-1∼5 with dimethylamino-quinolinium as the skeleton and thiophene as the π bridge to connect the groups with different electron-push/pull capacities. Among them, QM-SF-2 exhibited excellent properties such as large Stokes shift (168 nm), near-infrared emission (689 nm), and high selectivity and sensitivity (limit of detection was 1.07 μM) to Aβ aggregate and mitochondrial viscosity changes, indicating its promising prospects as a dual-functional imaging tool in the pathological study of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) as one most abundant thiol, acts as important roles in regulating cellular redox activities, and various diseases are closely related with its abnormal levels. Thus, monitoring intracellular GSH levels is essential for understanding cellular metabolism of many related diseases. In this work, we firstly reported a new fluorescence turn-on sensor, which was capable of selectively, sensitively and rapid sensing GSH over other thiols, especially cysteine and homocysteine in solutions and living cells. A meso-aryltellurium boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) was firstly designed and synthesized, which showed silenced emission due to an efficient photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process from electron-rich Te to BODIPY, and then upon exposure to GSH, the meso-Te-C bond could be rapidly cleaved by the thiol group of GSH, thus resulting in an obvious fluorescence "turn-on" phenomenon through inhibition of the PET effect. This probe exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards GSH with a short response time of 2 min, showing a remarkable fluorescence enhancement observed at 541 nm with a large fluorescence quantum yield increase from nearly 0 to 0.73 upon excitation at 500 nm in PBS/CH3CN (9/1, v/v). The detection limit towards GSH was further calculated to be 1.7 nM by the linear fluorescence change at 541 nm in the GSH-concentration ranging from 0 to 4 μM. Furthermore, its sensing mechanism was validated by using mass spectrometry, confirming the rapid cleavage of the Te-C bond by GSH. Finally, cell imaging experiments demonstrated that this probe could successfully detect GSH in living cells, highlighting its potential for rapid and sensitive detection of intracellular GSH level changes. Therefore, a new meso-aryltellurium-BODIPY fluorescence turn-on sensor was firstly developed, which could selectively, sensitively and fast detect cellular GSH over other thiols based on the rapid cleavage of the meso Te-C bond.

Abstract
A viscosity-sensitive, lysosome-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe (PYATT) was reported in this paper. The fluorescent spectra of PYATT are strongly dependent on viscosity, resulting in a Stokes shift of about 190 nm. Given its photostability, low cytotoxicity, and high fluorescence quantum yield, PYATT is expected to be used in cell imaging. Due to the higher viscosity of tumor cells than normal cells, the fluorescence intensity of PYATT in tumor cells is higher than normal cells, which can realize the visualization of tumors. The near-infrared probe (PYATT) is viscosity-dependent in lysosomes, which is valuable in early diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

Abstract
Fluorescent rotors with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and organelle-targeting properties have attracted great attention for sensing subcellular viscosity changes, which could help understand the relationships of abnormal fluctuations with many associated diseases. Despite the numerous efforts spent, it remains rare and urgent to explore the dual-organelle targeting probes and their structural relationships with viscosity-responsive and AIE properties. Therefore, in this work, we reported four meso-five-membered heterocycle-substituted BODIPY-based fluorescent probes, explored their viscosity-responsive and AIE properties, and further investigated their subcellular localization and viscosity-sensing applications in living cells. Interestingly, the meso-thiazole probe 1 showed both good viscosity-responsive and AIE (in pure water) properties and could successfully target both mitochondria and lysosomes, further imaging cellular viscosity changes by treating lipopolysaccharide and nystatin, attributing to the free rotation and potential dual-organelle targeting ability of the meso-thiazole group. The meso-benzothiophene probe 3 with a saturated sulfur only showed good viscosity-responsive properties in living cells with the aggregation-caused quenching effect and no subcellular localization. The meso-imidazole probe 2 showed the AIE phenomenon without an obvious viscosity-responsive property with a C═N bond, while the meso-benzopyrrole probe 4 displayed fluorescence quenching in polar solvents. Therefore, for the first time, we investigated the structure-property relationships of four meso-five-membered heterocycle-substituted BODIPY-based fluorescent rotors with viscosity-responsive and AIE properties, and among these, 1 with a C═N bond and a saturated sulfur on the meso-thiazole, potentially contributing to their corresponding AIE and viscosity-responsive properties, served as a sensitive AIE fluorescent rotor for imaging dual-organelle viscosity in both mitochondria and lysosomes.

Abstract
Mitochondrial viscosity affects metabolite diffusion and mitochondrial metabolism and is associated with many diseases. However, the accuracy of mitochondria-targeting fluorescent probes in measuring viscosity is unsatisfactory because these probes can diffuse from mitochondria during mitophagy with a decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). To avoid this problem, by incorporating different alkyl side chains into dihydroxanthene fluorophores (denoted as DHX), we developed six near-infrared (NIR) probes for the accurate detection of mitochondrial viscosity, and the sensitivity to viscosity and the mitochondrial targeting and anchoring capability of these probes increased by increasing the alkyl chain length. Among them, DHX-V-C12 had a highly selective response to viscosity variations with minimum interference from polarity, pH, and other biologically relevant species. Furthermore, DHX-V-C12 was used to monitor the mitochondrial viscosity changes of HeLa cells treated by ionophores (nystatin, monensin) or under starvation conditions. We hope that this mitochondrial targeting and anchoring strategy based on increasing the alkyl chain length will be a general strategy for the accurate detection of mitochondrial analytes, enabling the accurate study of mitochondrial functions.

Abstract
Lysosomal viscosity is a significant parameter of lysosomes and closely related to various diseases. Herein, two fluorescent probes, Lyso-vis-A and Lyso-vis-B, were developed, which demonstrate diverse advantages, including great water solubility, lysosome targeting ability and viscosity sensitivity. In particular, Lyso-vis-A exclusively showed fluorescence response toward viscosity but was not influenced by pH changes, rendering it a selective lysosomal viscosity probe. Furthermore, Lyso-vis-A was successfully applied to monitor lysosomal viscosity variations in living cells and differentiate cancer cells and normal cells.

Abstract
Viscosity is an important component of cell microenvironment, and abnormal mitochondrial viscosity is associated with many diseases such as tumor and fatty liver. Herein, a near-infrared fluorescence probe (QX-V) based on quinoline-xanthene dye for detecting viscosity is constructed. In high viscosity medium, the free rotation of single bond is inhibited and the fluorescence is released. The probe shows high sensitivity together with good selectivity. Notably, QX-V has a long excitation wavelength (710 nm) and emission wavelength (786 nm). At the same time, the probe is a positively charged molecule that can target mitochondria. QX-V can not only distinguish cancer cells from normal cells, but also make a distinction between normal cells and fatty hepatocytes. In addition, QX-V is used to image viscosity abnormality in tumor-bearing mice. The probe also has a good ability to image viscosity abnormality caused by liver injury in fatty-liver mice.

Abstract
Aberrant mitochondrial viscosity is closely associated with many diseases and cellular malfunctions. Thus, the development of reliable methods for monitoring mitochondrial viscosity variations has attracted considerable attention. Herein, through stepwise structural modulation of the dihydroxanthene fluorophore (DHX), we developed three NIR fluorescent probes, named DHX-V-1-3, for detecting mitochondrial viscosity. Among them, DHX-V-3 displayed the highest signal-to-noise ratio (67-fold) for viscosity with outstanding selectivity and showed excellent mitochondria targeting and immobilization ability. At the cellular level, the DHX-V-3 probe was successfully applied to image the mitochondrial viscosity in live cells upon treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or nystatin. Moreover, benefiting from its NIR emission and the increased depth of tissue imaging, DHX-V-3 demonstrated the ability to visualize the increased viscosity in LPS-treated mice.

Abstract
The self-assembly of tetrarhenium metallacycles [{Re(CO)3}2(μ-dhaq)(μ-N-N)]2 (3a, N-N = 1,3-bis(1-butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene; 3b, N-N = 1,3-bis(1-octylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene), (H2-dhaq = 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone) and [{Re(CO)3}2(μ-thaq)(μ-N-N)]2 (4, N-N = 1,3-bis(1-butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene), (H2-thaq = 1,2,4-trihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone) under solvothermal conditions is described. The metallacycles 3a,b and 4 underwent aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) in THF upon the incremental addition of water. TEM images revealed that metallacycle 3a in a 60% aqueous THF solution formed rectangular aggregates with a wide size distribution, while a 90% aqueous THF solution resulted in the formation of a mixture of nanorods and amorphous aggregates due to rapid and abrupt aggregation. UV-vis and emission spectral profiles supported the formation of nanoaggregates of metallacycles 3a,b and 4 upon the gradual addition of water to a THF solution containing metallacycles. Further studies indicated that these nanoaggregates were excellent probes for the sensitive and selective detection of nitro group containing picric acid (PA) derivatives as well as antibiotics.

Abstract
The last decade has seen an increasingly large number of studies reporting on the development of novel small organic conjugated systems for mitochondrial imaging exploiting optical signal transduction pathways. Mitochondria are known to play a critical role in a number of key biological processes, including cellular metabolism. Importantly, irregularities on their working function are nowadays understood to be intimately linked to a range of clinical conditions, highlighting the importance of targeting mitochondria for therapeutic benefits. In this work we carry out an in-depth evaluation on the progress to date in the field to pave the way for the realization of superior alternatives to those currently existing. The manuscript is structured by commonly used chemical scaffolds and comprehensively covers key aspects factored in design strategies such as synthetic approaches as well as photophysical and biological characterization, to foster collaborative work among organic and physical chemists as well as cell biologists.

Abstract
Two viscosity-sensitive two-photon fluorescent probes (QL and QLS) were designed and synthesized, which can be localized in lysosome and mitochondria in living HeLa cells, respectively. As the increases of viscosity from 2.55 to 1150 cP, the fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) of QL and QLS was increased by 28-fold and 37-fold, respectively. At the same time, its effective two-photon absorption cross section (ΦδTPA) was enhanced by 15-fold and 16-fold, respectively. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of living HeLa cells stained with QL and QLS, revealed that lysosomal viscosity ranged from 100.76 to 254.74 cP and mitochondrial viscosity ranged from 92.21 to 286.79 cP. This type of fluorescent probe is helpful in the design and application of materials for monitoring diseases associated with abnormal viscosity.

Abstract
Meso-substituted boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) provide a potential and innovative strategy for the synergistic construction of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probes and fluorescent rotors for monitoring cellular viscosity changes, which play critical roles in understanding the function of viscosity in its closely associated diseases. Therefore, for the first time, a BODIPY-based fluorescent probe (1) with a rotatable meso-benzothiazole group was rationally designed and synthesized, showing both good viscosity-responsive and AIE properties. Probe 1 through direct linkage with the thiazole group, showed nearly no emission in low viscous solvents; however, a strong emission at 534 nm appeared and increased gradually with the increase in viscosity, attributing to the efficient restriction of the rotatable meso-benzothiazole group. The intensity (log I534) displayed a good linear relationship with viscosity (log η) in the viscous range of 0.59-945 cP in methanol/glycerol mixtures. Interestingly, 1 showed enhanced emission at 534 nm in 70% water compared to pure acetonitrile due to the aggregation-induced inhibited rotations. Cellular imaging suggested that 1 could successfully sense lysosomal viscosity changes induced by lipopolysaccharide, nystatin, low temperature, and dexamethasone in living cells, which could be further applied in autophagy monitoring by tracing viscosity changes. As a comparison, its analogue 2 directly linking with the phenyl group showed no viscosity-responsive or AIE properties. Therefore, for the first time, we reported a meso-benzothiazole-BODIPY-based fluorescent rotor with AIE and lysosomal viscosity-responsive properties in nervous cells, which was further applied in monitoring autophagy, and this work thus could provide an innovative strategy for the design of potential AIE and viscosity-responsive probes.

Abstract
In this work, a series of multiphoton terpyridine agents (ZA, ZA-Mex, and ZA-Hex) for fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) are designed and synthesized. The results from photophysical property research reveal that ZA-Hex, as an N-hexylated terpyridine salt, has stronger three-photon aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties compared to ZA-Mex due to enhanced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) performance. All three terpyridine derivatives possess suitable fluorescence intensities and stable fluorescence lifetimes under different pH conditions (pH = 4.0-8.0), thereby performing multiphoton fluorescence lifetime imaging. For biological imaging applications, it is found that ZA shows good lipid droplet (LD) turn-on fluorescence performance, and ZA-Hex could easily accumulate in mitochondria with high specificity. This is the first report of terpyridine salts as three-photon AIE probes used for multiphoton FLIM imaging.
