“…The fluorescence intensity of these hybrid compounds was restored after the addition of excess AsA, For the hybrid compound 7-O- [2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-Noxyl (TEMPO)-4-carbonyl]umbelliferone, adding excess AsA increased the fluorescence intensity 9.1-fold [7]. Similarly, for 5.5′-bis- [2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-N-oxyl (PROXYL)-3-aminocarbonyl]Cy3 and 5.5′-bis-(PROXYL-3-aminocarbonyl)Cy5, the increase in fluorescence intensity was 5.1-fold and 1.8-fold, respectively [8]. Fluorophores bearing a nitroxide radical show weak fluorescence; however, after reduction of the radical, the fluorescence is restored significantly.…”
