Abstract

This study introduces MYT, a novel bifunctional fluorescent probe engineered within a single molecular architecture to concurrently detect bisulfite/sulfur dioxide (HSO3-/SO2) species and measure local viscosity. The probe exhibits an ultrafast response to bisulfite, reaching signal stability within a mere 10 s. Through two well-resolved emission channels, MYT enables the efficient and precise quantification of both HSO3-/SO2 and viscosity. The sensor demonstrates outstanding analytical capability for HSO3-/SO2, featuring a remarkably low limit of detection of 0.182 μM. Live-cell imaging studies confirm MYT's capacity to monitor viscosity alterations in living organisms, specifically in zebrafish. Furthermore, the probe allows for detailed visualization of HSO3-/SO2 fluctuations within rice root tissues. Its practical utility was further established by successfully quantifying HSO3-/SO2 levels in food and water specimens, with recovery rates spanning 92.9% to 107.6%. This underscores the probe's excellent tolerance to complex matrices and its significant potential for environmental monitoring and biological applications.

A dual-responsive fluorescent probe for bisulfite and viscosity and its practical detection applications.

This study presents a dual-detection fluorescent probe MCC-DMQ toward both bisulfite and viscosity by strategically conjugating quinolinium salt as an electronic acceptor and 6-methoxychromene as an electronic donor linked through an exocyclic ethylene bridge to form the typical D-π-A conjugated system. The ethylene br...

A Simple Fluorescent Probe for Biothiol Detection and Its Application Based on a Phthalimide Derivative

A novel fluorescent probe PSH was developed for the specific detection of biothiols, using phthalimide as the fluorophore and the 2,4‐dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) group as the recognition moiety. The DNBS group causes fluorescence quenching of PSH , while biothiols trigger a nucleophilic substitution reaction...
