1. Materials and instruments Materials and instruments. Unless otherwise stated, all reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. Solvents were purified by standard methods prior to use. Twice-distilled water was used throughout all experiments. Low resolution mass spectra were performed using an LCQ Advantage ion trap mass spectrometer from Thermo Finnigan or Agilent 11 HPLC/MSD spectrometer. High-resolution electronspray (ESI-HRMS) mass spectra were recorded with a Bruker Q-TF Qualification Standard Kit. NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker-4, using TMS as the internal standard. UV Vis spectra were recorded on a UV-18 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation, Japan). nephoton photoluminescence spectra were recorded on a HITACHI F46 fluorescence spectrophotometer with a 1 cm standard quartz cell. Cell imaging was performed on Nikon A1plus confocal microscope. The ph measurements were carried out on a PHS-3C ph meter (INESA instrument). TLC analysis was performed on silica gel plates and column chromatography was conducted over silica gel (mesh 2 3) columns, obtained from the Yantai Jiangyou silica gel Development Company Limited. Calculation of fluorescence quantum yield. Fluorescence quantum yield was determined using optically matching solutions of cresol purple (Φ f =.54 in methanol), ICG (Φ f =.13 in DMS) 1 or rhodamine 6G ( f =.95 in EtH) 2 as the standard and the quantum yield was calculated using the following equation: Φ s = Φ r (A r F s /A s F r ) (n s2 /n r2 ) 2 where, s and r denote sample and reference, respectively. A is the absorbance. F is the relative integrated fluorescence intensity and n is the refractive index of the solvent. Calculation of pka Values. pka values of HDFL1 and HDFL2 dye at acidic to nearneutral ph regions were calculated by regression analysis of the fluorescence data to fit equation: ph pka = log (F max F)/(F F min ) Where F is the area under the corrected emission curve, F max and F min are maximum and minimum limiting values of F, respectively. Detection limit calculation. The detection limit was calculated based on the fluorescence titration. The detection limit is calculated using the following equation: 3σ/k where σ is the standard deviation of blank measurements, k is the slope between the emission ratios versus sample concentration.
