A squaraine-based far-red/near-infrared fluorescent probe (SQ-DNBS) was exploited for thiophenol detection. SQ-DNBS is a colorimetric and "off-on" fluorometric dual-channel "naked-eye" chemosensor showing high selectivity, high sensitivity (detection limit: 9.9 nM), and rapid response to thiophenol in aqueous solution. SQ-DNBS also can be used in practical applications for the detection of thiophenol in water samples. Photophysical and spectral characterization results revealed that the probing mechanism of SQ-DNBS toward thiophenol lies in the thiolate-mediated cleavage reaction. Our discovery demonstrates the potential of the arylmethylene-squaraine skeleton as a promising fluorophore unit to construct high-performance far-red/near-infrared chemosensors.
