A novel spiropyran that responds to both extreme acid and extreme alkali and has an "on-off-on" switch is reported. Benzoic acid at the indole N-position and carboxyl group at the indole 6-position contribute to the extreme acid response. The ionizations of carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups cause the extreme alkali response. Moreover, the fluorescent imaging in bacterial cells under extreme pH conditions supports the mechanism of pH response.
报道了一种对极端酸和极端碱都有响应且具有“开-关-开”开关的新型螺吡喃。吲哚 N 位上的苯甲酸和吲哚 6 位上的羧基有助于对极端酸的响应。羧基和酚羟基的离解导致了极端碱的响应。此外,在极端 pH 条件下细菌细胞中的荧光成像支持了 pH 响应的机制。
