3.2.2 Biologically and Environmentally Related Molecular Detection and Imaging
Except large amounts of reports for metal ion detection, SSB derivatives were also designed for inorganic species, small organic molecules, as well as macromolecules in biologically and environmentally related analytes. Many reports concern for charged species detection; the probes are usually designed by ionizing AIEgens to increase their solubility in water and rendering them nonfluorescent or weakly fluorescent. In the presence of target molecules with opposite charges, molecular aggregates formed and fluorescence‐enhanced signal was achieved. A series of fluorescent probes with excellent detection properties have been developed by the functionalization of the salicylaldehyde moieties [30] and were successfully applied to the detection of inorganic species [31–38], environmental pollutants [7, 37], biological inorganic molecules [38, 39], amino acids [40, 41], proteins [42–44], enzymes [45–47], and so forth. Herein this section is divided into three aspects: (i) inorganic species, (ii) small biomolecules, and (iii) biomacromolecules to introduce the design and applications for SSB‐based probes in chemical and biological sensing.

The detection of inorganic species such as CN−, F−, UO22+, S2−, and ClO− is of great significance in environment, biology, and industry. Cyanide (CN−) is one of the most powerful poisons. It affects vascular, vision, cardiac, endocrine, and metabolic functions and causes fatal damage to the nervous system. The fluoride ion (F−) is very useful in the treatment for osteoporosis and orthodontics. However, excess F− leads to fluorosis, which results in the increment in the bone density. Taking the advantage of hydrogen bonding with the hydroxyl group of SSB, the detection of such basicity anions like CN− and F− is facile by SSB fluorescent probes with high sensitivity and satisfactory selectivity. As shown in Figure 3.12a and b, after adding CN−, probe 20 undergoes deprotonation due to the basicity of CN−. Cyclization reaction occurred under the catalysis of CN−, and the corresponding benzoxazole formed gradually in this process, therefore lighting up the fluorescence [34]. The detection limit is 5.92 × 10−7 M, lower than the WHO guideline of CN− in drinking water (1.9 μM). The competitive experiments reveal high sensing selectivity and sensitivity of 20 for CN− over other anions (Figure 3.12c). Test papers were also prepared for the practical application of cyanide detection. By influencing hydrogen bonding, SSB‐based fluorine ion fluorescent probes were also reported. Figure 3.12d lists some SSB probes for F− detection. The possible processes and mechanisms are proposed, as demonstrated in Figure 3.12e. The addition of F− resulted in a blue‐shifted
