The selective detection of Cu2+ and S2- in pure water systems is very challenging. To address this problem, we here present a novel fluorescent probe CF536 for the reversible detection of Cu2+ and S2- in a 100% aqueous solution via a displacement approach based on fluorescence quenching and the ESIPT mechanism, and characterized by IR, NMR, HRMS and X-ray analysis. The introduction of Cu2+ (1.0 equiv.) to the aqueous solution of CF536 led to quenching of the intense green fluorescence within 2 min. On the addition of S2- (3.0 equiv.), the emission of the ESIPT probe soon recovered from the CF536-Cu2+ system due to the abolishment of paramagnetic Cu2+. The fluorescence "ON-OFF-ON" cycle can be repeated a minimum of 5 times by the alternate addition of Cu2+ and S2-, implying that CF536 is a renewable dual-functional probe. The probe displayed high selectivity, a rapid response time, excellent water solubility due to introduction of the extremely hydrophilic trihydroxyl group and outstanding anti-interference ability for its large Stokes shift of 101 nm (lambda(abs) = 435 nm, lambda(em) = 536 nm), thus making the method highly suitable for bioimaging. The probe CF536 was successfully used for fluorescent imaging of copper and hydrogen sulfide in living cells. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
