SH, PhSH) is a widely used aromatic organosulfur in
organic synthesis and in industrial chemistry. Therefore, facile and
effective detection of this irritant and toxic compound is highly desired for
environmental monitoring and assessment. Herein, we reported a novel near-
infrared (NIR) probe (1) for fluorescence turn-on detection of PhSH. The probe
was obtained by coupling 2, 4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) to a hydroxy-substituted
dicyanoisophorone based D–π–A fluorophore. PhSH can specifically mediated
a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction with probe 1 to release
the D–π–A fluorophore, thus achieving a dramatic turn-on NIR fluorescence
response (~200 fold, λ
em
=693 nm) and a dramatic colour change of the probe
solution from red (λ
abs
=524 nm) to blueness (λ
abs
=668 nm). This fluorescent
assay based on probe 1 displayed a large Stokes shift (~133 nm) and a high
sensitivity for PhSH sensing with a low detection limit of 34 nM. Moreover,
probe 1 was successfully applied to monitor PhSH in real water samples as
well as imaging PhSH in living cells.
