Abstract
A series of substituted naphthalimides have been prepared for evaluati on as pH sensors acting via a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mec hanism: the compounds were found to be pH sensitive but only at the ex tremes of pH, the mechanism causing this sensitivity being due to prot ons or hydroxide ions quenching the fluorescent state rather than PET.
