Abstract
The detection of intracellular pH is crucial for elucidating the pathological process of cancers, as well as for medical diagnostic applications. Here, we developed an aggregation-induced emission active pH-responsive fluorescent probe (TPE-DCP) for sensitively detecting cell pH changes. The probe shows obvious pH-sensing properties at ~615 nm, with a pKa value of 6.82 and a good linear pH response ranging from 8.5 to 4.5. TPE-DCP holds advantages such as excellent anti-interference performance, good photostability, and low cytotoxicity, and has been successfully used to image intracellular pH changes in cells.
