The design and synthesis of new fluorescent dyes with emission range at 490-650 nm are described. Their structural and electronic properties have been characterized by both experimental techniques and quantum-chemical calculations. The chromophores are donor-?-bridge-acceptor push-pull compounds with a ? bridge of phenyl and thiophene rings and their combination. Compared with previous thiophene fluorophores, these dyes show significant redshift in the absorption and emission spectra and offer compact, red-emitting fluorophores. The dyes have amino succinimidyl active ester and can be readily conjugated to proteins, polymers and other amino-group-containing materials.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of new fluorescent dyes with emission range at 490-650 nm are described. Their structural and electronic properties have been characterized by both experimental techniques and quantum-chemical calculations. The chromophores are donor-?-bridge-acceptor push-pull compounds with a ? bridge of phenyl and thiophene rings and their combination. Compared with previous thiophene fluorophores, these dyes show significant redshift in the absorption and emission spectra and offer compact, red-emitting fluorophores. The dyes have amino succinimidyl active ester and can be readily conjugated to proteins, polymers and other amino-group-containing materials.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
