A highly sensitive viscosity probe based on ferrocene-BODIPY dyads.

چکیده
Two novel ferrocene-BODIPY molecules FcEB and FcB have been synthesized and characterized. An "interlock" packing mode was demonstrated in both FcEB and FcB by analysis of X-ray diffraction data. FcEB exhibits a molecular rotor property with a significant enhancement of quantum yield in viscous solvent. The result shows that the emission of FcEB increased dramatically as the viscosity of solution increased and also confirms that the structure-optical properties can be tuned by the structure design of molecule and introduction of different functional group. Our studies reveal that the system has great potential for developing viscosity probes in biological systems.

BODIPY (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes) dyes possess intense absorption profiles that can be exploited in various light harvesting applications. However, redox stability and optimization of frontier molecular orbital energies in these dyes are critical for their successful incorporation into new solar cell materials. This article describes the synthesis and characterization of a fa...

A series of dyads and triads using ferrocene (Fc) as the donor and 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) as the acceptor, linked either directly or through an N-phenylmethanimine or ethynylbenzene linker have been synthesized. While the former (directly linked) dyads were prepared through acid catalyzed condensation of pyrrole with ferrocenecarboxaldehye or 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxa...
متن کاملA Simple BODIPY-Based Viscosity Probe for Imaging of Cellular Viscosity in Live Cells
Intracellular viscosity is a fundamental physical parameter that indicates the functioning of cells. In this work, we developed a simple boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based probe, BTV, for cellular mitochondria viscosity imaging by coupling a simple BODIPY rotor with a mitochondria-targeting unit. The BTV exhibited a significant fluorescence intensity enhancement of more than 100-fold as the so...

Two highly selective OFF-ON green emitting fluorescent thiol probes (1 and 2) with intense absorption in the visible spectrum (molar extinction coefficient ε is up to 73 800 M(-1) cm(-1) at 509 nm) based on dyads of BODIPY (as electron donor of the photo-induced electron transfer, i.e.PET) and 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) (as electron acceptor of the PET process) were devised. The single c...

The role of membrane cholesterol as a crucial regulator in the structure and function of membrane proteins and receptors is well documented. However, there is a lack of consensus on the mechanism for such regulation. We have previously shown that the function of an important neuronal receptor, the serotonin1A receptor, is modulated by cholesterol in hippocampal membranes. With an overall object...
