Photoactivatable fluorophores for super-resolution imaging based on oxazine auxochromes
We synthesized five fluorophore-photochrome dyads designed to switch reversibly between nonfluorescent and fluorescent isomers under optical control. These compounds pair an oxazine photochrome to a biphenyl, fluorene, pyrene, coumarin, or cyanine fluorophore in their molecular skeleton and can be p...

We synthesized five fluorophore-photochrome dyads designed to switch reversibly between nonfluorescent and fluorescent isomers under optical control.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicates that the oxazine ring of these compounds opens and closes spontaneously on a millisecond time scale in acetonitrile at ambient temperature. Under these conditions, the fraction of ring-open isomer at equilibrium is negligible in all instances with the exception of the cyanine derivative, which instead is almost exclusively in this form. Absorption and emission spectroscopies demonstrate, however, that the fraction of ring-open isomer is sensitive to solvent polarity and increases with a transition from acetonitrile to methanol.
