Abstract
Abstract We report a turn-on fluorescent probe for H 2 S through a cascade reaction using a new trap group 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate, based on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) sensing mechanism. The probe showed good selectivity and high sensitivity towards H 2 S and it was capable of detecting and imaging H 2 S in living HeLa cells, indicating its potential biological applications.
