title: Water-soluble, pH-sensitive fluorescent probes on the basis of acridizinium ions.
abstract: The acridizinium fluorophore was employed as water-soluble substitute for anthracene in PET probes and donor-pi-acceptor systems that may be used as fluorescent light-up probes and ratiometric probes in aqueous media.
