Abstract |
4-Nitro-7-(1-piperazinyl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-PZ) reacts with carboxylic acids in the presence of condensing agents and is utilized for the fluorescence detection of the generated derivatives in high performance liquid chromatography or capillary electro-phoresis. Although the fluorescence intensity of derivatives of NBD-PZ-CH2CH2NH2 with carboxylic acids is elevated at low pH, the pH-dependent fluorescence of NBD-PZ itself has not yet been investigated. In this study, we determined the fluorescence spectra of NBD-PZ at various pH and found that the fluorescence intensity of NBD-PZ was elevated dramatically at pH
