With the decrease of pH value( from 6. 24 to 3. 00),an obvious color change of the probe in ethanol-water solution from green to yellow was observed under nature light. The intensity of the maximum fluorescence emission peak of the probe decreased gradually with the acidity increase of the solution. While the fluorescence intensity of the emission peak of the probe did not exhibit distinct change when pH was less than 11. 00 and the fluorescence was almost quenched at pH 13. 50. Sensitivity of the fluorescent pH probe was not interfered by the presence of common metal cations and anions.展开更多
