Abstract: Fluorescent benzo[a]phenoxazinium chlorides with dipropyl-, dioctyl- didecyl- and didodecyl-chains as the amino substituents of the 9-positions of the tetracyclic system were synthesised in moderate to good yields. All the compounds absorbed in the wavelength range of 638-641 nm and emitted at 673 or 676 nm with quantum yields of 0.17-0.19 in ethanol.
Keywords: Benzo[a]phenoxazinium dyes; Near-infrared fluorescence probes; Cationic dyes; Nile Blue derivatives
