The dye is comprised of three parts and these parts show different fluorescence properties which can be very useful in some applications since the dye can produce information-rich responses. For example, the dye is p H-sensitive in both solution and solid states, and it emits yellow fluorescence in normal p H and red/NIR fluorescence in acidic condition. Cytotoxicity of the dye is low at concentration of 3 μM which was confirmed by a methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) experiment, and in vitro experiments revealed that the p H responsive performance can be used in bioimaging. It provides a novel p H-sensitive DSE dye ever reported, which has potential application in many fields.展开更多
