The present invention relates to a chemical compound that has applications as a luminescent indicator dye, and to an optical sensor, typically employed for determination of near-neutral pH values of aqueous samples. The optical sensor has particular application in the pH determination of body liquids such as, for example, blood, plasma and serum. Composé chimique contenant une application comme colorant luminescent d'application, et capteur optique, utilisé normalement pour déterminer les valeurs de pH proche de la neutralité d'échantillons aqueux. Le capteur optique trouve une application particulière dans la détermination de pH de liquides corporels, notamment le sang, la plasma et le sérum.
