Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The toxic gas H₂S has recently emerged as one of the important signaling molecules in biological systems. Thus understanding the production, distribution, and mode of action of H₂S in biological system is important, but the fleeting and reactive nature of H₂S makes it a daunting task. Herein we report a biocompatible, nitro‐functionalized metal–organic framework as reaction‐based fluorescence turn‐on probe for fast and selective H₂S detection. The selective turn‐on performance of MOF remains unaffected even in presence of competing biomolecules.</p> </abstract>
