Fluorescence emission from dendrimers and its pH dependence.
A strong fluorescence emission was observed from different kinds of dendrimers under acidic condition. There was a remarkable difference in fluorescence properties between second and fourth generation NH2-terminated poly(amido amine) dendrimers. It can be assumed that the backbone of the dendrimer played the key role in forming the novel fluorescent center.
