Hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite (HClO/ClO − ) near membrane is one of the most critical reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, a photocontrollable fluorogenic probe for directly detecting ClO − near membrane has been designed and synthesized. This probe HOCMem was constructed based on fluorescein by incorporation of a photolabile group (nitrobenzyl group), membrane‐anchoring unit (cholesterol) and ClO − ‐sensitive moiety (benzoyl group). Upon the UV irradiation, the probe exhibited a significantly increased emission at 520 nm in the presence of ClO − . However, no fluorescence was observed with the treatment of only UV irradiation or ClO − . In addition, this new probe displayed a good linear relationship with the concentration of ClO − ranged from 1 to 50 μM with a detection limit of 260.77 nM, as well as excellent selectivity for ClO − over other analytes. Furthermore, cell‐based experiments showed the low cytotoxicity of this probe and its capacity for directly detecting near‐membrane ClO − with light switching on/off.
