To facilitate disease monitoring and improve the understanding of related mechanisms, it is imperative to establish a rapid and precise method for detecting H<sub>2</sub>S. In this work, we have designed a new near-infrared fluorescent probe, designated TPA-YL, for H<sub>2</sub>S sensing. TPA-YL probe utilizes triphenylamine thiophene dye as a fluorophore, and 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNS) as the response site for H<sub>2</sub>S. In the presence of H<sub>2</sub>S, the responsive group in TPA-YL undergoes thiolysis, and near-infrared fluorescence from the fluorophore is \"turned on\". The resulting fluorescence signal exhibits a good linear relationship with H<sub>2</sub>S up to 50 µM (limit of detection, 17 nM). The advantages of TPA-YL include: a long emission wavelength (642 nm); a large Stokes shift (188 nm); high selectivity; as well as remarkable sensitivity (under physiological conditions). Furthermore, the TPA-YL probe has been effectively applied for visualizing both externally supplied and internally generated H<sub>2</sub>S in HeLa cells via fluorescence imaging. Thus, this probe provides a promising strategy for studying the role of H<sub>2</sub>S in intricate physiological and pathological mechanisms. We develop a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe (TPA-YL) for the detection of H<sub>2</sub>S.
