and weak interaction between Cu and H2’s fluoro-
phore. In addition, almost no fluorescence or absorption
signal response was observed for H3 in the presence of
transition metal cations.
The pH sensitivities of H1, H2, and H3 as PET fluo-
rescent sensor were also studied for the sake of exploring
its potential application to detect protons in a micro-
environment. As shown in Figure 5, H1, H2, and H3
responded sharply to pH: there was 139-fold fluores-
cence enhancement for H1, 22-fold for H2, and 4-fold
for H3 when pH from 8 to 3, respectively.

and fluorescence probes of anthracene with receptor, for
example, polythiazaalkane, polythiaalkane, pyrazolyl-
methyl, thioazacrown, and so on. For silver cation,
H1 probably was the first two-channel molecular
switcher for the optical detection of Ag . Further
applications of H1 in chemical biology and structure–
properties relationships are currently under investigation.
