aDMEM/10% FBS solutions with 4 mM TX-100.

bTo allow a common comparison for each fluorophore solution across a wide acidity range 4 μM Triton X 100 was included in each solution.

cFluorescence spectra taken at 5 μM concentration, 2 (black spectra) 3 (grey spectra) 10 (red spectrum), inset shows expansion of spectra for 2 and 3.

dFluorescence enhancement factor (FEF).

eFluorescence quantum yields at pH 7.4 of 2 and 3 = 0.16 and 0.18 respectively (ESI).
