Abstract A series of compounds (W1-W8) based on triphenylamine with -C=N- or -NH- group, were designed and studied by fluorescence emission spectra and DFT/TDDFT calculations. Probes W1-W4 were selectively leveraged to sensitively detect glutathione by two distinct reaction mechanisms, thereinto, W1-W2 featured a convenient detection for glutathione using hydrolysis and W3-W4 utilized displacement to probe glutathione possessing sensitivity and practicability. Compound W5-W8 here provided an avenue for understanding structure-property relationship. Taken considerations for toxicity and biocompatibility together, W1-W4 showed great advance for endogenously and exogenously imaging GSH in living cells.
