Abstract: Several fluorescent benzo[a]phenoxazinium chlorides possessing a long hydrocarbon chain terminated with methyl, hydroxyl, carboxylic acid or ester groups as substituent at the 5-amino function of the heterocycle were efficiently synthesised. Studies of their photophysical properties revealed that all compounds absorbed and emitted at longer wavelengths with moderate to good fluorescent quantum yields.
