    Abstract:
    Hydrogen polysulfide (H2Sn, n > 1), as one of the important members of reactive sulfur species (RSS), plays a vital part in the processes of both their physiology and pathology. In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent probe for H2Sn had been designed and prepared based on the combination mechanism of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The probe chose a coumarin derivative as the energy donor, a naphthalimide derivative as the energy acceptor and 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoate as the H2Sn recognition group. When H2Sn was not present in the system, the ICT process of the naphthalimide acceptor was inhibited and the FRET process from the coumarin donor to the naphthalimide acceptor was turned off. When H2Sn was added, both ICT and FRET occurred due to the nucleophilic substitution-cyclization reactions between the probe and hydrogen polysulfide. In addition, the ratio value of the emission intensities at 550 nm and 473 nm (I550 nm/I473 nm) of this probe had a good linear relationship with H2Sn concentration in the range of 6.0 × 10-7-5.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1, and a detection limit of 1.8 × 10-7 mol·L-1 was obtained. The developed probe had high selectivity and sensitivity, as well as good biocompatibility. Additionally, the probe had been used to successfully image both indigenous and exogenous hydrogen polysulfide in A549 cells using confocal microscope.
