    Abstract:
    Two viscosity-sensitive two-photon fluorescent probes (QL and QLS) were designed and synthesized, which can be localized in lysosome and mitochondria in living HeLa cells, respectively. As the increases of viscosity from 2.55 to 1150 cP, the fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) of QL and QLS was increased by 28-fold and 37-fold, respectively. At the same time, its effective two-photon absorption cross section (ΦδTPA) was enhanced by 15-fold and 16-fold, respectively. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of living HeLa cells stained with QL and QLS, revealed that lysosomal viscosity ranged from 100.76 to 254.74 cP and mitochondrial viscosity ranged from 92.21 to 286.79 cP. This type of fluorescent probe is helpful in the design and application of materials for monitoring diseases associated with abnormal viscosity.
