چکیده

Convergent syntheses of polyglycerol hyperbranched polymers containing fluorescent labels (fluorescein or perylene diimide (PDI)) at their core are presented. The hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) precursors were synthesized using a one step polymerization reaction wherein the initiator leaves a single reactive group for dye functionalization. For further site isolation, allylated HPG was synthesized allowing cross-linking via ring closing metathesis and subsequent dihydroxylation to produce water-soluble, fluorescent nanoparticles. The dyes produced showed improvements in photostability, water solubility, or quantum yield, depending on both the dye used and cross-linking. These fluorescent nanoparticles outperformed similar dyes that incorporated linear polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers.

Synthesis and photophysical properties of pyrene-based green fluorescent dyes: butterfly-shaped architectures.

A few pyrene-based fluorescent compounds were synthesized using Pd/Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. Photophysical properties of the π-conjugated pyrene derivatives were studied and the results indicate materials with high quantum efficiency and high extinction coefficient. No π stacking was observed in the crystal lattice. The molecules described here may be useful in developing sensors or...

Dendritic nanocarriers based on hyperbranched polymers.

Hyperbranched polymers are obtained through one-step polymerization reactions and exhibit properties that are very similar to those of perfect dendrimer analogues. Therefore, hyperbranched polymers are a suitable alternative for perfect dendrimers as building blocks for dendritic nanocarrier systems. With regard to using soluble hyperbranched polymers as carrier systems, their flexible chains a...

Evaluation of Chemical Fluorescent Dyes as a Protein Conjugation Partner for Live Cell Imaging

To optimize live cell fluorescence imaging, the choice of fluorescent substrate is a critical factor. Although genetically encoded fluorescent proteins have been used widely, chemical fluorescent dyes are still useful when conjugated to proteins or ligands. However, little information is available for the suitability of different fluorescent dyes for live imaging. We here systematically analyze...

Benzothiadiazole oligoene fatty acids: fluorescent dyes with large Stokes shifts

Herein, we report on the synthesis and characterization of novel fluorescent fatty acids with large Stokes shifts. Three examples consisting of the same number of carbon atoms and thus of similar chain length are presented differing in their degree of unsaturation. As major fluorogenic contributor at the terminus benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole was used. Respective syntheses based on Wittig reaction...

Naphthalene-based azo dyes: Synthesis, characterization and dyeing performance on polyester fibers

In the present study, five naphthalene-based azo dyes were obtained using classical azo coupling reactions. The structure of the dyes was characterized and confirmed by the UV-vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analyses. The solvatochromic behavior of the dyes was studied in a set of 10 solvents with different polarity and considerable results were obtained. The dyes were applied as disperse dyes t...
