Bisulfite (HSO₃^-) is an important sulfur dioxide (SO₂) derivative, which plays a major role in many physiological processes and is also closely associated with a variety of diseases. Thus the development of highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probes is essential to detect HSO₃^- in living cells. In this work, we report the synthesis and analysis of a ratiometric fluorescent probe for selective detection of HSO₃^- based on the 1, 4-nucleophilic addition reaction with the carbazole as an electron donor (D) and aldehyde group as an electron acceptor (A). The addition of HSO₃^- and other ions to our probe can be observed by UV vis and fluorescence spectrometry. Our investigation proved that the probe is highly selective and sensitive for HSO₃^- and ratiometric changes. Moreover, the probe has good cell permeability and was successfully applied to the detection of exogenous HSO₃^- in Hela cells and C. elegans.
