Abstract Adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional molecule that participates in many important biological processes. Currently, fluorescence indicators for ATP with high performance are demand. Reported herein novel water‐soluble triarylboron compound which displays an apparent ATP‐dependent enhancement when dispersed water. It can selectively recognize from other bioactive substances vitro and vivo. The ATP‐induced finite aggregation endows the indicator appreciable photostability superior tolerance to environmental electrolytes. This has been successfully applied imaging NIH/3T3 fibroblast cells. difference levels within membrane cytosol clearly visible.
