An NIR-emitting probe (λ ∼ 700 nm) with a large Stokes shift (Δλ ≈ 234 nm) is synthesized by using excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). The phenolic proton, which controls ESIPT, acts as a switch to give strong fluorescence at pH ≈ 5. The probe can selectively show lysosome organelles, therefore leading to a lysosome probe without exhibiting "an alkalinizing effect".
通过利用激发态分子内质子转移(ESIPT)合成了一种具有大斯托克斯位移(Δλ≈234nm)的近红外发射探针(λ ∼ 700nm)。控制ESIPT的酚质子充当开关,在pH≈5时发出强荧光。该探针可以选择性地显示溶酶体细胞器,因此产生一种不会表现出“碱化效应”的溶酶体探针。
