摘要

Multicolor fluorescent probes based on small organic molecules have the advantages of low cost,good biocompatibility,easily modifiable molecular structures and adjustable fluorescence performance.In addition,small molecule multicolor fluorescent probes generally undergo multi-site or multi-step reactions,which means that they can be used for the specific detection of structurally similar substances in complex bio-systems.In this review,we focus on the design and application of multicolor fluorescent probes based on small organic molecules:single fluorophores with multiple reaction sites,multiple fluorophores with single reaction sites,or multiple fluorophores with multiple reaction sites.Moreover,a design strategy for multicolor fluorescent probes and its application in biological imaging are also summarized,providing a systematic plan for future research on fluorescent probes functionalized by small organic molecules.It will also play an important role in the development of additional functions for small organic molecule fluorescent probes.
