Using sulfone-functionalized piperdine as an auxochrome, the quantum yields of rhodamine and its red to NIR derivatives in aqueous solution have substantially been improved.
The fluorescence brightness of distyryl Bodipys was substantially improved by employing sulfone- and quaternary ammonium-modified piperidines as auxochromes instead of conventional dialkylamino auxochromes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
