摘要
Fluorescein-rhodamine 6G（Flu-Rh） was synthesized and used as the fluorescence probe for pH measurement based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer（FRET）. In the probe, fluorescein fluorophore and pH-sensitive rhodamine 6G hydrazide were used as FRET donor and acceptor, respectively. The values of acidity constant（pKa） and fluorescence quantum yield（Ф） of Flu-Rh were 3.71 and 0.72, respectively. The fluorescence efficiency of Flu-Rh remains almost constant when the pH value of the sample solution changed 10 times in a range of 4.78-7.03 continuously. The present probe is simple and easy-to-use for the pH measurement in acidic media.
