Abstract : pA naphthalimide-based highly selective colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent probe for the fluoride ion displayed both one- and two-photon ratiometric changes. Upon reaction with the F− (TBA+ and Na+ salts) anion in CH3CN as well as in aqueous buffer solution, probe 1 shows dramatic color changes from colorless to jade-green and remarkable ratiometric fluorescence enhancements signals. These properties are mechanistically ascribed to a fluoride-triggered Si−O bond cleavage that resulted in a green fluorescent 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide./p
