The quaternary ammonium group appended through themeso-position of the BODIPY dye ensures water solubility. The probe exhibits high specificity for cytosolic(bi)sulfites and fluoresces brightly in human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549).EnglishFluorogenic probesBODIPY dyesWater-soluble fluorophoresSulfur dioxide derivativesDevelopment of a water-soluble 3-formylBODIPY dye for fluorogenic sensing and cell imaging of sulfur dioxide derivativesArticle10.1016/j.tetlet.2019.04.039
