Recent Progress in the Development of Fluorescent Probes for Thiophenol

Molecules. 2019 Oct 16;24(20):3716. doi: 10.3390/molecules24203716.

Abstract

Thiophenol (PhSH) belongs to a class of highly reactive and toxic aromatic thiols with widespread applications in the chemical industry for preparing pesticides, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. In this review, we comprehensively summarize recent progress in the development of fluorescent probes for detecting and imaging PhSH. These probes are classified according to recognition moieties and are detailed on the basis of their structures and sensing performances. In addition, prospects for future research are also discussed.

Keywords: fluorescent probes; review; thiophenol.
