Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a near-infrared fluorescence probe to visualize fluctuations in H 2 S levels. This work is based on Sulfur-substituted dicyanomethylene-4H-chromene (DCM), A novel NIR fluorescent probe (E) -3 - (2 - (4 - (dicyanomethylene) -6-methyl-4H-Thiochromen-2-yl)vinyl-1-methylquinolin-1-ium (DMT) was synthesized successfully. Research has found that in weakly alkaline environments, the probe DMT reacts rapidly with H 2 S (only 10 s), the fluorescence intensity at 684 nm is enhanced by about 60 fold, the detection limit is as low as 0.1623 µM, the Stokes shift is large (94 nm), and strong selectivity as well as anti-interference ability towards H 2 S. This will provide a new method for the rapid detection and further application of H 2 S. NIR fluorescent probe Hydrogen sulfide Fluorescence intensity Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Introduction Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is known for its highly toxic and rotten egg smell, like nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), is considered a neurotransmitter, also a gas signaling molecule that regulates physiological functions [ 1 – 3 ]. At present, the anthropogenic sources of H 2 S mainly come from industrial production, agricultural production, modern oil production and urban sewage system. These can all lead to the production, release and exposure of H 2 S, and large-scale acute exposure of H 2 S may cause poisoning [ 4 , 5 ]. H 2 S is known to be involved in many physiological activities, such as the balance of REDOX states within cells, regulation of vascular tone, protection of the heart, and regulation of cell growth in biological systems [ 6 – 8 ]. Hydrogen sulfide can stimulate vascular tumor formation at low concentrations, high concentration can inhibit biological energy and poison mitochondria [ 9 ]. In addition, H 2 S has been linked not only to the onset of Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes, but also to Parkinson's disease (PD) and periodontitis [ 10 – 13 ]. At present, there are many methods reported to detect H 2 S signal molecules, mainly gas chromatography, colorimetry, electrochemical method and so on [ 14 – 17 ]. However, processing biological samples using these traditional methods requires complex procedures and has various limitations that make it challenging to quantitatively monitor H 2 S levels and dynamically detect H 2 S in real time [ 18 ]. Comparing with the traditional detection methods, the fluorescence detection method has the advantages of good selectivity, low background interference, high sensitivity and real-time detection [ 19 , 20 ]. There have been many reports on H 2 S probes. For example, Wang et al. [ 21 ] developed a fluorescence probe (EDPH) based on purine scaffold to detect H 2 S by inducing H 2 S to break ether bonds in EDPH, and successfully realized in-situ imaging in Hela cells. However, current fluorescent probes have the following limitations : (1) Weak anti-interference makes fluorescent probes susceptible to larger background signals from cytoplasm or other organelles [ 22 – 24 ]. (2) Many probes require a long response time to H 2 S, which is not conducive to the detection of H 2 S produced by biological tissues, because H 2 S is diffuse and unstable, as well as has a relatively short half-life [ 25 – 27 ]. (3) The detection limits of probes currently under development are usually higher than 100 µM, which limits their application in scenarios that produce lower concentrations of H 2 S [ 28 , 29 ]. Therefore, it is very important to develop a simple, efficient and sensitive fluorescent probe for rapid detection of hydrogen sulfide in vivo and in vitro. In this work, a probe DMT was prepared by methylation reaction of 3-quinoline formaldehyde and Sulfur-substituted dicyanomethylene-4H-chromene. Methylquinoline turned off the fluorescence, and the presence of H 2 S restored the intramolecular ICT effect and turned on the fluorescence. The detection of H 2 S was completed in EtOH/PBS solution, and the probe DMT showed excellent characteristics of fast response, high sensitivity, strong selectivity and low detection limit, and could distinguish between reaction and non-reaction from color changes before and after reaction. It provides a new method for visual detection of hydrogen sulfide in the environment and living cells.

Results and discussion Study on UV-VIS absorption spectra of hydrogen sulfide by probe DMT In order to evaluate the spectral properties of probe DMT on hydrogen sulfide, the UV-visible absorption spectra after the interaction between probe DMT and S 2− were tested, as shown in Fig. 1 . As can be seen from Fig. 1 , the maximum absorption wavelength of probe DMT is at 480 nm. After the addition of S 2− , the maximum absorption peak at 480 nm gradually decreased, and the peak at 378 nm also gradually decreased, and a new strong absorption peak appeared at 600 nm, indicating that S 2− reacted with the probe DMT, changing the original conjugate structure of the probe molecules leading to these phenomena.The methylquinoline group has fluorescence quenching effect on the probe, and the reaction of S 2− with the probe causes the probe to restore the intramolecular ICT effect, and the intramolecular charge distribution occurs a new layout. When the concentration of S 2− reached 500 µM, the absorption peak intensity did not change. After the probe reacted with S 2− , the color of the solution changed from yellow to blue, and the change could be directly observed by the naked eyes. Study on fluorescence spectra of hydrogen sulfide by probe DMT The fluorescence spectra of the interaction between probe DMT and S 2− are shown in Fig. 2 a. Probe DMT shows almost no fluorescence in PBS buffer, while the probe showed an emission band centered at 680 nm (λ ex = 590 nm) after interacting with S 2− . With the increase of S 2− concentration, the fluorescence intensity at λ em = 684 nm gradually increased by about 60 fold, which was attributed to the recovery of intramolecular ICT effect. When the concentration of S 2− reached 500 µM, the fluorescence intensity hardly changed. As can be seen from the small figure in the upper right corner, the product solution after the reaction of probe DMT and S 2− was purple red fluorescence. The relationship between fluorescence intensity and concentration of S 2− is shown in Fig. 2 b, and the concentration of S 2− below 500 µM has a good linear relationship (R 2 = 0.9926, K = 2.1706). Stability of probe DMT for S 2- In order to explore the stability effect of the probe in buffer solution (EtOH:PBS = 1:1), the fluorescence intensity of DMT in different pH environments was measured, as shown in Fig. 3 . The probe was almost unaffected by the pH of the environment, and the fluorescence intensity of the solution was enhanced with the addition of S 2− . As can be seen from Fig. 3 , in a strongly acidic environment, the fluorescence intensity of the probe did not increase significantly after adding S 2− , but showed obvious fluorescence enhancement in an environment with pH = 6.5–10.5. This indicates that probe DMT can be used as a detection tool for in vivo cell imaging and biological imaging applications. Reactivity of probe DMT to hydrogen sulfide Time is a key factor to evaluate the properties of fluorescent probes. In order to study the reaction performance of probe DMT to S 2− , the response time of probe and its reaction was measured, as shown in Fig. 4 . It can be seen from Fig. 4 that the probe can respond to S 2− in a very short time and reach an equilibrium state at 10 s. Selectivity of probe DMT to hydrogen sulfide Selectivity is one of the important parameters to evaluate the performance of fluorescent probes. In this paper, Leu, Val, Phe, Ala, Met, Arg, Pro, Gly, CaCl 2 , MgCl 2 , KCl, NaCl, NaBr, Na 2 CO 3 , NaNO 2 , NaF, Na 2 SO 4 , BaCl 2 ·2H 2 O, Na 2 S·9H 2 O, Na 2 S 2 O 4 , NaHSO 3 , GSH, Cys and Hcy were analyzed to explore the selectivity of probe DMT and its interaction, as shown in Fig. 5 . As can be seen from Fig. 5 , after adding S 2− , the probe DMT solution showed obvious fluorescence enhancement at 684 nm, and the fluorescence intensity increased slightly after adding GSH. Since the probe DMT solution added with GSH has no significant change under visible light and 365 nm UV lamp, and there is a significant difference in fluorescence enhancement ratio, it can be well distinguished between the two. The addition of other anions, cations, amino acids and other biological mercaptans had no obvious effect. The results show that probe DMT has good selectivity for S 2− . The anti-interference of probe DMT to S 2- As shown in the Fig. 6 , there was no obvious fluorescence change in probe DMT solution after adding other analytical species except S 2− . After adding 500 µM S 2− solution to different solutions, the fluorescence intensity of probe DMT at 684 nm showed obvious enhancement, and the fluorescence intensity was only slightly different from that of only 500 µM S 2− solution. Therefore, it can be shown that the probe DMT has excellent selectivity to S 2− and strong anti-interference to other analytical substances. Sensing mechanism study Through theoretical analysis and literature investigation, it is speculated that the nucleophilic addition reaction occurs between H 2 S and the double bond on the pyridine ring in the probe molecule DMT (Fig. 7 a), and the fluorescence is turned on [ 33 , 34 ]. The proposed mechanism was verified by measuring the molecular weight of the probe DMT reacting with H 2 S. As shown in the figure, after adding 250 eq H 2 S to fully combine it with the probe molecule, the mass spectrum peak of the reaction product [DMT + H 2 S + Na + ] was measured to be m/z = 448.0657, and its theoretical value was 448.0918, both values were basically consistent (Fig. 7 b). Conclusion In conclusion, a novel NIR fluorescence probe DMT for H 2 S recognition was designed and synthesized in this work. The structure of the probe was determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry and NMR. The sensing mechanism of DMT and H 2 S response was explained by HRMS. In vitro titration experimental data show that probe DMT has some excellent properties: The reaction with H 2 S can be complete within 10 s, the maximum fluorescence emission wavelength can reach the near infrared 684 nm and the fluorescence intensity is increased by about 60 fold, the large Snokes shift (94 nm), and the weak alkaline conditions show good selectivity and excellent anti-interference. It provides a new method for the rapid detection of H 2 S in the environment and living cells.

At present, the anthropogenic sources of H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003eS mainly come from industrial production, agricultural production, modern oil production and urban sewage system. These can all lead to the production, release and exposure of H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003eS, and large-scale acute exposure of H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003eS may cause poisoning [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e].

There have been many reports on H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003eS probes. For example, Wang et al. [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e] developed a fluorescence probe (EDPH) based on purine scaffold to detect H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003eS by inducing H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003eS to break ether bonds in EDPH, and successfully realized in-situ imaging in Hela cells.

Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a near-infrared fluorescence probe to visualize fluctuations in H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003eS levels. This work is based on Sulfur-substituted dicyanomethylene-4H-chromene (DCM), A novel NIR fluorescent probe (E) -3 - (2 - (4 - (dicyanomethylene) -6-methyl-4H-Thiochromen-2-yl)vinyl-1-methylquinolin-1-ium (DMT) was synthesized successfully.
