We reported here a turn-on fluorescent probe (1) for the detection of cysteine (Cys) by incorporating the recognition unit of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl ester (DNBS) to a coumarin derivative. The structure of the obtained probe was confirmed by NMR and HRMS techniques. The probe shows a remarkable fluorescence off-on response (∼52-fold) by the reaction with Cys in 100% aqueous buffer. The sensing mechanism was verified by the HPLC test. Probe 1 also displays high selectivity towards Cys. The detection limit was calculated to be 23 nM. Moreover, cellular experiments demonstrated that the probe is highly biocompatible and can be used for monitoring intracellular Cys.

Rhodamine B thiohydrazide (RBS) was firstly employed as turn-on fluorescent probe for hypochlorite in aqueous solution and living cells. It exhibits a stable response to hypochlorite from 1.0×10-6to 1.0×10-5M with a detection limit of 3.3×10-7M. The response of this probe to hypochlorite is fast and highly selective compared with other reactive oxygen species (such as.OH,1O2, H2O2) and other common anions (such as X-, ClO2-, ClO4-, NO3-, NO2-, OH-, Ac-, CO32-, SO42-).

A new 3-hydroxyphthalimide-based turn-on fluorescent probe is designed and synthesized. This probe can be used to determine the presence of Hg2+ ions by fluorescence spectroscope with high selectivity over other metal ions in aqueous solution. The analytical detection limit for Hg2+ is as low as 6.5 × 10−7 M. The recognition mechanism is attributed to Hg2+-promoted carbonothioate group cleavage and a subsequent excited-state intramolecular proton transfer mechanisms.

Six rhodamine-based “turn-on” fluorescence chemosensors (L1–L6) with different substituents for mercury (Hg2+) were readily synthesized and investigated; they displayed high selectivity and chelation enhanced ratiometric fluorescence change and colorimetric change with Hg2+ among the metal ions examined. Based on UV and fluorescence spectral data, the effects of different substituents on spectral properties of the probes were presented and discussed. The detection limit of Hg2+ to probe L1 was as low as 50 nmol/L because of its electron-donating group. Theoretical calculation also supported the process of reaction. Confocal laser scanning microscopy experiments showed that probe could be used to detect Hg2+ in living cells.
