Abstract

A new class of fluorescent dye for sensing water in organic solvents by photo‐induced electron transfer (PET), based on a (phenylamino)naphtho[1,2‐d]oxazol‐2‐yl‐type fluorophore with both proton binding and proton donating sites, has been designed developed. The fluorophore exhibits a weak emission in organic solvents but a drastic enhancement in the fluorescence intensity is observed with increasing water content in organic solvents.
