A salicylaldazine-based amphiphilic polymer (AIE-1) with AIE characteristics was synthesized and self-assembled to form sub-20 nm micelles (AIE-M). The green fluorescence of AIE-M was completely quenched by Cu2+ and then recovered with Na2S, which was utilized for the specific and sensitive detection of S2− in solution and mitochondrial imaging of H2S in HeLa cells.
