  • Abstract
    A heptamethine cyanine-based sensor (1) was designed and synthesized by incorporating heptamethine cyanine fluorophore and methylpiperazine. Sensor 1 exhibited good response to the change of pH levels, and a large Stokes shift ( 100 nm) was obtained. Fluorescent image experiments in living cells further demonstrated its potential applications in biological systems.
