Thiophenol (PhSH) is an important raw material for organic synthesis, while its high toxicity to organisms makes it an environmental pollutant. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately detect PhSH and explore its metabolic process in the living system. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe TEM-FB was developed for sensing PhSH with a turn-on fluorescent signal at 719 nm and a large Stokes shift (198 nm) based on generating the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process. TEM-FB shows high specificity and significant sensitivity towards PhSH (detection limit: 10 nmol/L) via the aromatic nucleophilic substitution mechanism. Furthermore, it was successfully applied to image PhSH in multiple cell lines and in zebrafish. Notably, we revealed the oxidative stress process caused by PhSH and demonstrated that the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in cells would alleviate the poisonousness from exogenous PhSH for the first time. This work provides a promising bioimaging tool for monitoring PhSH in living systems and visualizing the process of oxidative stress induced by PhSH.
