treated with 100 mmol/L H2O2 (e-h),100 mmol/L NaClO (i-l),1.0 mmol/L NEM (m-p),
and 1.0 mmol/L NAC (q-t). The signals were collected at 450–530 nm (yellow
channel, 1st row) and 570–610 nm (blue channel, 2nd row) upon excitation at
405 nm. The 3rd row exhibited the corresponding merge images, and the 4th (ratio

the good capability of sensor ABTT to explore the relationship
between intracellular pH fluctuations and oxidative stress, and it
will be a promising tool for analyzing various pH-dependent
biological and pathological processes as well.

In summary, a novel ratiometric pH fluorescent sensor ABTT
was synthesized via a condensation of 2-(2'-amino-4'-chloro-
phenyl)benzothiazole with tosyl group. Upon appending of tosyl
group, amino-type ESIPT process was thermodynamically allowed,
endowing ABTTa long-wavelength emission with large Stokes shift
in acidic media. On the contrary, the deprotonation in sulfonamide
moiety blocked the ESIPT process partly or overwhelmingly in
basic condition, giving the hypsochromically shifted emission. The
significant color change from yellow to cyan allowed less spectral
overlap and higher spatial resolution for pH detection. Moreover,
the excellent photostability and reversibility, high quantum yield,
and favorable anti-interference allowed its application in imaging
pH changes in living cells and monitoring pH fluctuations under
oxidative stress. These results elucidates that the sensor may
potentially be used in understanding pH-dependent biological and
pathological processes.
