Based on a unique elimination reaction prompted by the iodide, a turn-on fluorescent probe (HCy-OMe-Br) without containing heavy metal has been developed for the first time. The probe can monitor iodide with excellent selectivity and sensitivity and was successfully applied to visualize iodide in living cells.
