A ratiometric fluorescent pH probe 44(1E, 3E)-4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)buta-1, 3-dienyl)-N, N-dimethylbenzenamine (BTDB) was synthesized via ethylene bridging of thiazol and cinnamaldehyde for extremely acidic sensing. BTDB exhibits ratiometric fluorescence emission (I-425 nm/I-595 nm) characteristics with pK(a) of 2.34 and a large Stokes shift of 177 nm under acidic conditions. The linear response to pH is in the range of 2.3-4.0. Quantum chemical calculations with the B3LYP exchange functional theory demonstrated that the ratiometric response of the probe to acidic pH was due to H+ binding with the N of cinnamaldehyde and the induced decreases of the intramolecular charger transfer (ICT) process. The as-prepared probe displayed excellent cell membrane permeability was further applied successfully to monitor pH fluctuations in live cells with excellent lysosomal targeting ability, and extreme acidity in Escherichia soli cells.
