Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous signaling molecule involved in various physiopathological processes; coumarin-based merocyanines have been successfully utilized for developing fluorescent H2S sensors. However, subtle changes in the chemical structure of merocyanines could induce distinct dif...
