The synthesis and spectroscopic properties of novel, functional fluorescent naphthalimide dyes

Determination of Water Content in Organic Solvents by Naphthalimide Derivative Fluorescent Probe

“…But to the best of our knowledge, there are few reports about their application in detecting water content. 12,13 As demonstrated in our previous papers, 14,15 naphthalimide are excellent candidates for preparing fluorescence sensors.…”

Synthesis, characterization, and energy transfer studies of dye-labeled poly(butyl methacrylate) latex particles prepared by miniemulsion polymerization

“…The syntheses of compounds 2, 3a and 3b are reported elsewhere [22]. Details for the synthesis of the methacrylate esters 4a and 4b are provided in Supplementary data.…”

“…In the second step of the synthesis, compound 2 was reacted with an excess amount of a bifunctional nucleophile, either ethylene glycol in the presence of KOH or 2-(methylamino)ethanol in the presence of triethylamine to give compounds 3 [22]. Finally, the desired dye monomers 4a and 4b were obtained from the reaction of compounds 3a and 3b with methacryloyl chloride.…”

A sensitive and selective chemosensor for ascorbic acid based on a fluorescent nitroxide switch

“…Because of the strong yellow-green fluorescence and good photostability of 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives, they have found wide application in spectral area [36][37][38]. Here, we describe a new naphthalimide-linked nitroxide probe (NAPS-NO) with high sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of ascorbic acid.…”
