Based on the acid-induced discoloration of the spiropyran, a visual detection probe was synthesized for pH detection in fruit acid cosmetics. Generally, the spiropyran shows poor water solubility, and it is difficult to apply the unmodified spiropyran to determination of aqueous system. So in this work, by modifying hydroxyl groups, the pK_a value of spiropyran probe was controlled and the water solubility was improved, which broadened the scope of its application. The as-synthesized colorimetric hydrogen ion probe of polyhydroxy spiropyran (SP-OH) was characterized by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ¹³C NMR, infrared (IR) spectra and high resolution mass spectra. The influences of probe concentration, water content and other cations on absorbance were investigated, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy results showed that there was a linear relationship between the hydrogen ion concentration and the ratio of absorbance at 420 nm and 560 nm, the standard equation was A_{420 nm}/A_{560 nm}=-55.66pH+276.83 (R²=0.996), and the linear range was 3.0-5.0. The probe could quickly and spontaneously transform into colored ring-open form in acidic solution, which was verified by ¹H NMR and molecular orbital energy level calculation. The pH value of fruit acid cosmetics was determined by the SP-OH probe. In the range of pH 3.0-5.0, the pH value of the samples could be detected by SP-OH probe within 5 min. The measured results were consistent with those of pH meter, and the relative error was 2.4%.
