New Near-infrared Rhodamine Dyes with Large Stokes Shifts for Sensitive Sensing of Intracellular pH Changes and Fluctuations

摘要

New near-infrared rhodamine dyes with large Stokes shifts were developed, and applied for sensitive detection of cellular pH changes and fluctuations by incorporating an additional amine group with fused rings to rhodamine dyes to enhance the electron donating ability of amine groups, and improve the spectroscopic properties of the dyes.
