Near-infrared (NIR) emitting probes with very large Stokes' shifts play a crucial role in bioimaging applications, as the optical signals in this region exhibit high signal to background ratio and allow deeper tissue penetration. Herein we illustrate NIR-emitting probe 2 with very large Stokes' shifts (Δλ ≈ 260–272 nm) by integrating the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) unit 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HBO) into a pyridinium derived cyanine. The ESIPT not only enhances the Stokes' shifts but also improves the quantum efficiency of the probe 2 (фfl = 0.27–0.40 in DCM). The application of 2 in live cells imaging reveals that compound 2 stains mitochondria in eukaryotic cells, normal human lungs fibroblast (NHLF), Zebrafish's neuromast hair cells, and support cells, and inner plasma membrane in prokaryotic cells, Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Developing efficient methods for the real-time detection of Zn2+ levels in biological systems is highly relevant to improving our understanding of the role of Zn2+ in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). In this work, a novel Schiff base based Zn2+ fluorescent probe (ZP) was designed, synthesized and systematically investigated. A significant turn-on effect on ZP upon the addition of Zn2+ was observed, accompanied by a blue-shift of the fluorescence spectra. ZP is sensitive to Zn2+ and has excellent selectivity against various biologically relevant cations, anions and amino acids. The sensing mechanism of ZP was studied by 1H NMR, MS, single crystal X-ray diffraction and theoretical calculations. The results showed that the response of ZP to Zn2+ was based on the chelation-hydrolysis-enhancement process. Upon bonding, Zn2+ hydrolyzes the Schiff base to an aldehyde precursor, the resulting aldehyde further coordinates to Zn2+ to form a more stable heterobimetallic complex leading to the emission enhancement and blue-shift. ZP was applied to imaging exogenous/endogenous Zn2+ in live HeLa cells. Furthermore, we successfully measured the Zn2+ levels using in vitro PD models, which provided a visualization method to better understand the relationship between Zn2+ levels and PD development.

Pyrophosphate (PPi) is a biologically important target. A binuclear system 3?2Zn is found to selectively recognize PPi, leading to a ratiometric fluorescent sensor at pH 7.4 in water. The binding event triggered a large fluorescence response (~100 nm bath
