Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is an important bioactive molecule, playing vital roles in a large number of physiological and pathological processes. Abnormal concentration of HClO in vivo has close contact with many diseases including inflammatory diseases and cancer. For bioimaging HClO, a new colorimetric and turn-on near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe (DDAO-ClO) was designed and synthesized in this work through a specific reaction of HClO with dimethylthiocarbamate. DDAO-ClO proved to show distinct and highly selective colorimetric and NIR fluorescence responses for HClO with fast response time (<3 s) and high sensitivity (LOD = 7.3 nM) in vitro. After confirming the excellent in vitro sensing ability, imaging HClO with DDAO-ClO in living HeLa cells, MCF-7 cells, zebrafish, and mice was all successfully demonstrated. And with this probe, it was further discovered that more endogenous HClO was produced in injured mice liver tissues, which demonstrates that DDAO-ClO not only is effective for in vivo detection of HClO but also has a broad application prospect.

Determination of hydrogen peroxide (HO) is of great importance in many systems for controlling the quality of products, food safety, and medical diagnostics. In this work, a highly sensitive photoluminescence film sensor was synthesized based on chitosan (CS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and terephthalic acid (TPA), in the presence of copper (II) ions for determination of hydrogen peroxide. TPA was used as a sensitive probe for detection of hydroxyl radicals produced in a photo-Fenton-like process.

pH balance is an important factor in regulating the internal environment of body and maintaining the normal physiological activities, but pH cannot be detected in vivo without damaging the tissue. It is important to develop a pH probe with low toxicity, high sensitivity and targeting of organelles. In this research, a novel carbazole-pyrimidine-based probe PKZP was designed from 2-hydroxyl-3-pinanone which was derived from natural monoterpene α-pinene for detecting both acidic and basic pH in vivo.

Flavonoid glycosides are formed by dehydration condensation of aglycones and sugar molecules. Therefore, discrimination of flavonoid glycosides from their corresponding aglycones is a challenging task because they contain the same aglycone part in their molecular structures. Herein, boric acid-functional Eu(III)-organic framework (BA-Eu-MOF) was applied to discriminate flavonoid glycosides including baicalin (Bai), wogonoside (Wog), rutin (Rut), puerarin (Pue), quercitrin (Que) and astragalin (Ast) from their corresponding aglycones for the first time.

Construction of single probes for simultaneous detection of common trivalent metal ions has attracted much attention due to higher efficiency in analysis and cost. A naphthalimide-based fluorescent probe K1 was synthesized for selective detection of Al, Cr and Fe ions. Fluorescence emission intensity at 534 nm of probe K1 in DMSO/HO (9:1, v/v) was significantly enhanced upon addition of Al, Cr and Fe ions while addition of other metal ions (Li, Na, K, Ag, Cu, Fe, Zn, Co, Ni, Mn, Sr, Hg, Ca, Mg, Ce, Bi and Au) did not bring about substantial change in fluorescence emission.

We report a bithiophene-based fluorescence probe BDT (2,2'-(((1 E, 1'E)-[2,2'-bithiophene]-5,5'-diylbis(methaneylylidene))bis(azaneylylidene))bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenol)) for recognizing ClO. BDT selectively responded to ClO, leading to a blue fluorescence enhancement in a mixture of DMF/HEPES buffer (9:1, v/v). Importantly, BDT showed an ultrafast response (within 1 s) to ClO among the fluorescent turn-on chemosensors based on bithiophene.
