Pi-extended dipyrrins capable of highly fluorogenic complexation with metal ions

J Am Chem Soc. 2010 Jul 21;132(28):9552-4. doi: 10.1021/ja102852v.

Abstract

The synthesis and properties of a new family of pi-extended dipyrrins capable of forming brightly fluorescent complexes with metal ions are reported. The metal complexes possess tunable spectral bands and exhibit different emission properties depending on the mode of metal coordination.
