We constructed a series of novel optical sensors for determination of broad-range pH based on a single fluorophore and multi-ionophores with different pKa values. These optical sensors use photoinduced electron transfer (PET) as the signal transduction and follow the design concept of “fluorophore-spacer-receptor (ionophore)” which employs 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide as the single fluorophore, ethyl moiety as the spacer, and a series of phenols and anilines as the receptors. Key to the successful development of this sensor system is that coupling the receptors with six different pKa values with a single fluorophore produces the correct optical properties. This rational design affords a series of optical pH sensors with unique fluorescence property and accurately tunable pH measurement ranging from 1 to 14 pH units. Because of covalent immobilization of the indicators, these sensors demonstrate excellent stability, adequate reversibility, and satisfactory dynamic range up to full pH ranges (pH 1–14).
