1. General Information Unless otherwise noted, materials were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. All the solvents were treated according to general methods. Flash column chromatography was performed using 2-3 mesh silica gel. Chemical shifts were reported on the delta (δ) scale in parts per million (ppm) relative to the singlet ( ppm) for tetramethylsilane (TM). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, dd = doublet of doublets, m = multiplet), coupling constants (Hz) and integration. 13 C MR spectra were recorded at 75 MHz with complete proton decoupling. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm relative to the central line of the triplet at 77. ppm for CDCl 3. Fluorescence emission pectra were obtained using a RF-531/PC spectrofluorophotometer (himadzu). UV absorption spectroscopy measurements were carried out on cinco -31 using a 1 cm optical path length cell at room temperature. Confocal microscopy experiment was conducted with a confocal laser scanning biological microscope (lympus, FV12, Japan) and super resolution TED laser (stimulated emission depletion) confocal microscopy (Leica TC P8, Germany), excitation source: 45 nm diode laser. The high resolution mass spectra (HRM) were measured on a Bruker Ultraflex Xtreme MALDI-TF/TF mass spectrometer by EI. 2

3. Fluorescence Quantum Yield Measurement Fluorescence quantum yield of probe 1 and probe 1 after additon of 3 equivalents of a 2 was determined in the reference of fluoresceinin.1 M aqueous ah. The quantum yield of probe 1 and probe 1 with a 2 are calculated according to the equation:ф x =Ф s (A s x )/(A x s ), where Ф s is the fluorescence quantum yield of fluorescein (Ф =.98), A x is the absorbance of probe 1 and probe 1 after addition with a 2, respetively. A s is the absorbance of the fluorescein. x is integrated fluorescence emission intensity of probe 1 and probe 1 with a 2 while the s is integrated fluorescence emission intensity of fluorescein. 4.

9. Two-Photon Fluorescence Microscopy. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy images of probe 1-labeled cells were obtained with spectral confocal and multiphoton microscopes (Leica TC P2 MP) with 1 oil objectives, numerical aperture (A) = 1.3. The two-photon fluorescence microscopy images were obtained with a DMI6B Microscope (Leica) by exciting the probes with a mode-locked titanium-sapphire laser source (Chameleon, 9 MHz, 2 fs; Coherent Inc., anta Clara, CA, UA) set at wavelength 74 nm and output power 135 mw, which corresponded to approximately 1.44 1 9 mw/cm 2 average power in the focal plane. To obtain images at 5 6 nm range, internal PMTs were used to collect the signals in an 8 bit unsigned 124 124 pixels at 2 Hz scan speed, respectively. Flurorescence intensity analysis was carried out using Leica software. 9
