Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important endogenous gas transmitter that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes and can also cause a negative impact on foodstuffs. In this study, we designed and synthesized a simple, easily available, high-yield, and low-cost near-infrared (λem = 710 nm) fluorescent probe, DEM-H2S, with a substantial Stokes shift (205 nm) for the detection of H2S. DEM-H2S features high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 80 nM) toward H2S, accompanied by a noticeable color change. Upon interaction with H2S, DEM-H2S exhibits a restored ICT (Intramolecular Charge Transfer) process, thereby manifesting near-infrared fluorescence. DEM-H2S has been successfully utilized to detect H2S in actual water samples and to monitor the spoilage of food items, such as pork, shrimp, and eggs. Furthermore, DEM-H2S enables the imaging of endogenous and exogenous H2S in living MCF-7 cells and zebrafish. Hence, DEM-H2S provides an attractive method for the detection of H2S in environmental, food, and biological systems, holding potential value in physiological and pathological research.
期刊介绍:
An essential criterion for acceptance of research articles in the journal is that they provide new physical insight. Please refer to the New Physical Insights virtual issue on what constitutes new physical insight. Manuscripts that are essentially reporting data or applications of data are, in general, not suitable for publication in JPC B.
