TL;DR: In this paper, the most significant developments in fluorescent probes for the detection of the carbonyl species formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and phosgene in recent years, with a special emphasis on their mechanisms and applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a small molecule ratiometric fluorescent probe P-Hg was designed and synthesized for monitoring Hg2+ based on ESIPT/ICT mechanisms and its structure was confirmed by X-ray, NMR and HRMS spectrum.

TL;DR: An efficient and novel 2,5-bis(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenol scaffold-based ratiometric fluorescent probe BTP-Cys for the sensing of cysteine has been developed and has been successfully constructed on account of the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the probe Bod-Cou-HNO is suitable for fluorescence ratiometric imaging of HNO in living cells and high sensitivity, high selectivity, remarkable emission shift and low cytotoxicity.

TL;DR: Tetraphenylene-chalcones hybrid derivatives have been designed and synthesized, and their optical properties have also been investigated as mentioned in this paper, and it has been further demonstrated that these organic fluorophores can be employed for imaging in living cells.
