    Abstract:
    Development of an efficient fluorescent probe for sensing hypochlorite in water samples and biological samples is highly demanded. However, the currently reported fluorescent probes for hypochlorite frequently suffered from the problem of high background fluorescence. Herein, based on the combined effect of two different fluorescence quenching groups, we rationally developed a novel fluorescent probe for hypochlorite with extremely low background fluorescence. Notably, due to the doubly quenching groups, the probe could even keep low background fluorescence in a solution with high viscosity. Furthermore, the probe displayed highly sensitive and selective response to hypochlorite, with the detection limits calculated to be 10.5 nM. Practical application demonstrated that the probe was able to quantitatively detect hypochlorite in various water samples with good recovery. Significantly, the probe showed extremely low background fluorescence in living cells and was capable of detecting minor variation of endogenous hypochlorite in RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, the fluorescence imaging different concentration of hypochlorite in zebrafish has been successfully conducted. The probe developed herein will be widely used as a reliable tool to accurately monitor the variation of hypochlorite in living organism.
