Developing fluorescent probes for specific detection of extremely toxic thiophenols is pretty significant in the field of environment, chemistry and biology. We report herein a turn-on red fluorescent xanthene-based probe (RD-Probe) for detecting thiophenol with high selectivity over other analytes including aliphatic thiols. The probe could play the part of a "naked-eye"colorimetric indicator toward thiophenol. Moreover, the relative fluorescence intensity at 653 nm displayed good linearity with the concentration of thiophenol ranging from 0 to 6 μM, and the limit of detection for thiophenol could be as low as 15 nM. Furthermore, the practicability of RD-Probe has been successfully proved through the quantitative thiophenol detection in real water samples and fluorescence bioimaging of thiophenol in HeLa cells.

A novel colorimetric and fluorescent thiophenol probe based on dicyanoisophorone has been successfully achieved, which has low-cost, easy operation, high selectivity, sensitivity and stability. The chemosensor shows a large Stokes shift and approximately 170 nm when excited at 510 nm. ISO-DiNO could be utilized as "Turn-on" and a naked-eyes chemosensor to detect PhSH, which is accompanied by a distinct color shift from red to dark purple with strong red fluorescence at 365 nm UV-light.

Thiophenol (PhSH) is an important industrial intermediate but displays significant toxicity towards environmental and biological systems. Here, we introduce a supramolecular system based on β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as a ratiometric fluorescence probe to discriminate PhSH in environmental water samples, cells, and in vivo. In aqueous solutions, BODIPY shows extremely weak fluorescence intensity due to its aggregation into nanometer-sized clusters, which prevents its interaction with thiols.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is one of the most common genetic metabolic diseases, especially among newborns. Traditional clinical examination of newborn blood samples for PKU is invasive, laborious, and limited to hospitals and healthcare facilities. We reported herein a SERS-based sensor array with three thiophenolic nanoreceptors built on a patterned nanorod vertical array for rapid and inexpensive detection of characteristic volatile biomarkers indicative of PKU in the urine and accurate classification of newborn baby patients all performed on a hand-held SERS spectrophotometer.

In recent years, nanozymes have attracted particular interest and attention as catalysts because of their high catalytic efficiency and stability compared with natural enzymes, whereas how to use simple methods to further improve the catalytic activity of nanozymes is still challenging. In this work, we report a trimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) based on Fe, Co and Ni, which was prepared by replacing partial original Fe nodes of the Fe-MOF with Co and Ni nodes. The obtained FeCoNi-MOF shows both oxidase-like activity and peroxidase-like activity.

Due to the presence of the boronic acid moieties, poly-3-thienylboronic acid has an affinity for saccharides and other diol-containing compounds. Thin films of this novel chemosensitive polymer were synthesized electrochemically on the gold surface. The adhesion of the polymer was enhanced by the deposition of a monomolecular layer of thiophenol.
