A single component ratiometric pH probe with long wavelength excitation of europium emission

Abstract

Following excitation in the range 370–405 nm, the emission spectrum of a cell permeable macrocyclic Eu(III) complex incorporating an N-methylsulfonamide moiety changes form with pH, allowing ratiometric pH measurements in the range 6 to 8.
