A unique reaction between H<sub>2</sub>S and a selenenyl sulfide containing benzoate ester template was discovered. This reaction could be specifically triggered by H<sub>2</sub>S and lead to ester bond cleavage. The reaction was not affected by the presence of thiols such as glutathione and cysteine. With this reaction, a series of fluorescent probes were synthesized and evaluated. The probes exhibited high sensitivity/selectivity for H<sub>2</sub>S in both buffers and cells. ...[more]
