Donor-π-acceptor fluorene derivative 1c is a near-neutral pH indicator whose pKa of ~7.0 was determined by both absorption and fluorescence methods. 1c satisfies important criteria for a sensitive ratiomeric fluorescent pH indicator with a distinctive isoemissive point, good dispersion in cell cytosol, and low cytotoxicity. Furthermore, its 2PA cross section of 100 GM in its neutral form suggests its potential in two-photon fluorescence imaging applications.

Page/Page column 3, (2012/08/08)
Disclosed are fluorescent compounds useful as intracellular pH probes. In particular, the invention teaches a two-photon absorbing, water soluble, fluorescent compound, a fluorene derivative, which is effective as a near-neutral pH indicator and particularly as an intracellular probe. A method for chemical synthesis of the claimed compounds is provided.
