HS is the third gas transmitter affecting the growth, reproduction and survival of cancer cells. However, the HS anticancer and antitumor mechanism still needs to be further studied. Here, FHS-1 was synthesized utilizing excited-state intramolecular proton transfer to detect HS in MCF-7 cells, and investigated the effects of varying concentrations NaHS on apoptosis. The study found that FHS-1 detects HS levels with high selectivity and pH stability and that HS may regulate apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through the p53/mTOR/STAT3 pathway. Researching the influence of HS on apoptosis can serve as a theoretical foundation for future research into HS-related anticancer medicines, and the HS probe can be used as an effective cancer screening tool.

The ability to manipulate excited-state decay cascades using molecular structure is essential to the application of abundant-metal photosensitizers and chromophores. Ligand design has yielded some spectacular results elongating charge-transfer excited state lifetimes of Fe(II) coordination complexes, but triplet metal-centered (MC) excited states─recently demonstrated to be critical to the photoactivity of isoelectronic Co(III) polypyridyls─have to date remained elusive, with temporally isolable examples limited to the picosecond regime. With this report, we show how strong-field donors and intramolecular π-stacking can conspire to stabilize a long-lived MC excited state for a remarkable 4.

Donor-acceptor BODIPY dyads, functionalized at the 2 and 6 positions with benzyl ester (BDP-DE) or carboxylic acid (BDP-DA) groups, were synthesized and characterized for their optoelectronic properties. The introduction of carbonyl groups increased the reduction potential of the BODIPY core by 0.15-0.

For the typical ESIPT process, the proton transfer process is often completed via the intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) with oxygen or nitrogen as proton donor or proton acceptor. In recent years, the ESIPT process for sulfur-containing hydrogen bonds has received more and more attention, but it has been rarely reported. We systematically studied the ESIPT processes and photophysical properties of 2-(benzothiophene-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (BTOH), 2-(benzothiophene-2-yl)-3-mercapto-4H-chromen-4-one (BTSH) and 2-(benzothiophen-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-4H-chromene-4-thione (BTS) at the HISSbPBE/6-31+G(d,p) and TD-HISSbPBE/6-31+G(d,p) computational level.

Apigenin (Api), a flavonoid possessing dual features of antioxidant activity and intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB), is subjected to an external electric field (EEF) to investigate its excited-state antioxidant activity after excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) behavior employing the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods, as well as molecular docking. The existence of IMHB is demonstrated by structural parameters and AIM topological analysis, where Api in the enol form under an EEF of +60 × 10 a.u.

Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecules are promising fluorophores for various applications including bioimaging, sensing, and optoelectronic devices. Particularly, their self-absorption-free fluorescence properties would make them a perfect choice as emissive materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Nevertheless, to become effective emitters some of their properties need to be altered by structural modifications.
