Figure 2. pH sensitivity of tin-porphyrin-PEG hydrogels.

A) Fluorescence spectra of SnCl2mTCPP hydrogels in pH=1–12 100 mM sodium phosphate solutions. B) Ratio of SnCl2mTCPP hydrogel fluorescence emission intensities at 600 nm and 650 nm. Data show mean +/− std. dev. for n=3 separate polymerization reactions and purifications. C) Fluorescence lifetime at 600 nm emission of SnCl2mTCPP hydrogels in 100 mM sodium phosphate at indicated pH.
