Popis: Fluorescent/phosphorescent dual-emissive polymers or hybrids consisting of both fluorophore and phosphor have been used as self-calibrating probes and imaging reagents for cellular molecular oxygen. Oxygen selectively quenches the phosphorescence and the fluorescence serves as an internal reference. The phosphorescence/fluorescence ratio is used as a quantitative indicator of oxygen content. In wavelength-ratiometric probes, the fluorophore and phosphor are designed to emit at different wavelengths. It is easy to achieve spectral separation, but the phosphorescence/fluorescence ratio fluctuates due to the difference in the absorption and scattering of light at different wavelengths by biological samples. Herein we reported a lifetime-ratiometric luminescent polymeric probe where the fluorophore and phosphor emitted at the same wavelength. Spectral separation was achieved based on the difference in their excited-state lifetimes
