Abstract: A novel method for attaching 3-epoxypropoxy fluorescein(EPF) to water soluble chitosan(GCS) and its dual sensitive quality of fluorescence were investigated. GCS bearing EPF was characterized by the methods of IR, 1H NMR, UV and fluorescence spectra, respectively. The chemiluminescent and photophysical behavior of GCS-EPF were studied, and the pH and temperature dependences of fluorescence of GCS-EPF were investigated in detail. From the results, we found that the emission wavelengths of GCS-EPF in solid and film states were larger than that in solution state, which may be due to the formation of an excimer between chromophore moieties on a chitosan chain. At 0-60 ℃, the maximum fluorescence intensity of GCS-EPF decreased on heating and the relationship between fluorescence intensity and the change of temperature was linear; At pH=0-13.5, its fluorescence intensity increased with basification and completely disappeared at very acidic pH.
