Iron is widely distributed in the human body, participating in numerous biochemical reactions. Iron exists in the forms of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in cells, playing crucial roles in maintaining normal cellular functions. In the reducing environment of living cells, the labile iron primarily exists in the form of Fe2+ ions. The labile Fe2+ can serve as a catalyst for the Fenton reaction, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell, which can cause severe damage to the cell and lead to a range of related diseases. Therefore, visual monitoring Fe2+ in the physiological environment is necessary to contribute to a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis and progression of the disease. In recent years, several researchers have focused on designing and synthesizing fluorescent probes with excellent optical properties that can be used to monitor Fe2+ in vivo and in vitro. Among them, the N-oxide-based fluorescence probes have been concerned by researchers because of its advantages of strong selectivity, high sensitivity, and in-situ real-time imaging. The structures, design considerations, optical properties, and applications of N-oxide-based Fe2+ fluorescence probes are discussed.
