Hydrazone-based molecular switches serve as efficient ratiometric pH-sensitive agents that can be tracked with 19 F NMR/MRI and 1 H NMR. Structural changes induced between pH 3 and 4 lead to signal appearance and disappearance at 1 H and 19 F NMR spectra allowing ratiometric pH measurements. The most pronounced are resonances of the CF 3 group shifted by 1.8 ppm with 19 F NMR and a hydrazone proton shifted by 2 ppm with 1 H NMR.
