Bis(styryl) dye 1 bearing N-phenylazadithia-15-crown-5 ether receptor has been evaluated as a ratiometric fluorescent chemosensor for mercury (II) ions in living cells. In aqueous solution, probe 1 selectively responds to the presence of Hg2+ via the changes in the emission intensity as well as in the emission band shape, which is a result of formation of the complex with 1:1 metal to ligand ratio (dissociation constant 0.56 ± 0.15 µM). The sensing mechanism is based on the interplay between the RET (resonance energy transfer) and ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) interactions occurring upon the UV/Vis (380 or 405 nm) photoexcitation of both styryl chromophores in probe 1. Bio-imaging studies revealed that the yellow (500–600 nm) to red (600–730 nm) fluorescence intensity ratio decreased from 4.4 ± 0.2 to 1.43 ± 0.10 when cells were exposed to increasing concentration of mercury (II) ions enabling ratiometric quantification of intracellular Hg2+ concentration in the 37 nM–1 μM range.

Future Perspectives

: Coumarin-based derivatives have easy modification and tunable properties and have been synthesized and applied in many areas including pro-drugs, biomedical materials, and chemical and biological sensing. In this review, recent advances of coumarin-based fluorescent probes for biosensing are reported for metal ion imaging. Metal detection in living cells will be highlighted with representative examples together with fluorescence response mechanisms such as photoinduced electron transfer (PET), intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Some future perspectives are also briefly mentioned.

In the design of novel fluorescent chemosensors, investigation of new sensing mechanisms between recognition and signal reporting units is of increasing interest. In recent years, a smart chemosensor probe containing a 1,8-naphthalimide moiety could be developed as a fluorescent and colorimetric sensor for toxic anions, metal ions, biomolecules, nitroaromatics, and acids and be further applied to monitor the relevant biological applications. In this field, several problems and challenges still exist. This critical review is mainly focused on various sensing mechanisms that have emerged in the past few years, such as Photo-Induced Electron Transfer (PET), Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT), Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT), hydrogen bonding and displacement approach. The review concludes with some current and future perspectives, including the use of the naphthalimides for sensing anions, metal ions, biomolecules, nitroaromatics and acids and their potential uses in various fields.
